Below: Robbert Dijkgraaf, Director of the Institute and Leon Levy Professor, gives an Institute talk, “100 Years of General Relativity,” available at www.ias.edu/ideas/100-years-general-relativity. 5 In November, the Institute celebrated the centennial of Einstein’s general theory of relativity with a special two-day conference, General Relativity at 100, which examined the history and influence of relativity and its continuing impact on cutting-edge research, from cosmology and quantum gravity to black holes and mathematical relativity. The Institute for Advanced Study It was founding Director Abraham Flexner’s belief that if the Institute “eschews the chase for the useful, the minds of its scholars will be liberated, they will be free to take advantage of surprises, and someday an unexpected discovery, apparently leading nowhere, will be found to be an indispensable link in a long and complex chain that may open new worlds in theory and practice.” FROM THE DEVELOPMENT of programmable computers and the uncovering of the deep symmetries of nature to advances in societal understanding and historical practice, long and complex chains of knowledge have developed for more than eighty- five years through research originating at the Institute for Advanced Study. Albert Einstein was one of the first in a continuous line of distinguished Institute scientists and scholars who have produced a deeper understanding of the physical world and of humanity. Yet the Institute’s remarkable history does not seem to weigh heavily on current scholars and scientists. Instead, the atmosphere focuses on the present, where every twist and hairpin bend changes our view. What do we know? What do we yet need to understand? How should we try to comprehend it? Work at the Institute takes place across historical studies, mathematics, natural sciences, and social science. Currently, a permanent Faculty of some thirty eminent academics each year award fellowships to some two hundred visiting Members, from about one hundred universities and research institutions throughout the world. The Institute’s reach has been multiplied many times over through the more than seven thousand Members who have influenced entire fields of study as well as the work and minds of colleagues and students. Thirty-three Nobel Laureates, forty-one of the fifty-six Fields Medalists, and six- teen of the seventeen Abel Prize Laureates, as well as many winners of the Wolf and MacArthur prizes, have been affiliated with the Institute. At the Institute, everything is designed to encourage scholars to take their research to the next level. This includes creating and sustaining an environment where Members live in an academic village of apartments, originally designed by Marcel Breuer in 1957, at the edge of the Institute’s eight hundred acres of campus, woodland, and farmland. Members eat in the same dining hall, share common rooms and libraries, and carry out their work in an institutional setting where human scale has been carefully maintained to DAN KOMODA DAN encourage the sharing of ideas, mutual understanding, and friendship. 7 Each year a new intellectual mix is created by the Members, ranging from young postdoctoral fellows to distinguished senior professors, who typically stay a year but may stay up to five years and return for subsequent visits throughout their careers. A period spent as a Member is often a life-changing experience. Young scholars meet the contemporaries who, with them, will be leading figures in their field in the future.

  • Finite Type Invariants for Knots 3-Manifolds
    Pergamon Topology Vol. 37, No. 3. PP. 673-707, 1998 ~2 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd Printed in Great Britain. All rights reserved 0040-9383/97519.00 + 0.00 PII: soo4o-9383(97)00034-7 FINITE TYPE INVARIANTS FOR KNOTS IN 3-MANIFOLDS EFSTRATIA KALFAGIANNI + (Received 5 November 1993; in revised form 4 October 1995; final version 16 February 1997) We use the Jaco-Shalen and Johannson theory of the characteristic submanifold and the Torus theorem (Gabai, Casson-Jungreis)_ to develop an intrinsic finite tvne__ theory for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. We also establish a relation between finite type knot invariants in 3-manifolds and these in R3. As an application we obtain the existence of non-trivial finite type invariants for knots in irreducible 3-manifolds. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved 0. INTRODUCTION The theory of quantum groups gives a systematic way of producing families of polynomial invariants, for knots and links in [w3 or S3 (see for example [18,24]). In particular, the Jones polynomial [12] and its generalizations [6,13], can be obtained that way. All these Jones-type invariants are defined as state models on a knot diagram or as traces of a braid group representation. On the other hand Vassiliev [25,26], introduced vast families of numerical knot invariants (Jinite type invariants), by studying the topology of the space of knots in [w3. The compu- tation of these invariants, involves in an essential way the computation of related invariants for special knotted graphs (singular knots). It is known [l-3], that after a suitable change of variable the coefficients of the power series expansions of the Jones-type invariants, are of Jinite type.

    Newsletter Volume 6, Issue 11, November 2016 Mechanical Aspire Achievements in Sports, Projects, Industry, Research and Education All About Nobel Prize- Part 35 The Breakthrough Prize Inspired by Nobel Prize, there have been many other prizes similar to that, both in amount and in purpose. One such prize is the Breakthrough Prize. The Breakthrough Prize is backed by Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and Google co-founder Sergey Brin, among others. The Breakthrough Prize was founded by Brin and Anne Wojcicki, who runs genetic testing firm 23andMe, Chinese businessman Jack Ma, and Russian entrepreneur Yuri Milner and his wife Julia. The Breakthrough Prizes honor important, primarily recent, achievements in the categories of Fundamental Physics, Life Sciences and Mathematics . The prizes were founded in 2012 by Sergey Brin and Anne Wojcicki, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan, Yuri and Julia Milner, and Jack Ma and Cathy Zhang. Committees of previous laureates choose the winners from candidates nominated in a process that’s online and open to the public. Laureates receive $3 million each in prize money. They attend a televised award ceremony designed to celebrate their achievements and inspire the next generation of scientists. As part of the ceremony schedule, they also engage in a program of lectures and discussions. Those that go on to make fresh discoveries remain eligible for future Breakthrough Prizes. The Trophy The Breakthrough Prize trophy was created by Olafur Eliasson. “The whole idea for me started out with, ‘Where do these great ideas come from? What type of intuition started the trajectory that eventually becomes what we celebrate today?’” Like much of Eliasson's work, the sculpture explores the common ground between art and science.

  • Department of Mathematics
    Department of Mathematics The Department of Mathematics seeks to maintain its top ranking in mathematics research and education in the United States. The department is a key part of MIT’s educational mission at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and produces the most sought-after young researchers. Key to the department’s success is recruitment of the best faculty members, postdoctoral associates, and graduate students in an ever more competitive environment. The department strives to be diverse at all levels in terms of race, gender, and ethnicity. It continues to serve the varied needs of its graduate students, undergraduate students majoring in mathematics, and the broader MIT community. Awards and Honors The faculty received numerous distinctions this year. Professor Victor Kac received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement, for “groundbreaking contributions to Lie Theory and its applications to Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.” Larry Guth (together with Netz Katz of the California Institute of Technology) won the Clay Mathematics Institute Research Award. Tomasz Mrowka was elected as a member of the National Academy of Sciences and William Minicozzi was elected as a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Alexei Borodin received the 2015 Loève Prize in Probability, given by the University of California, Berkeley, in recognition of outstanding research in mathematical probability by a young researcher. Alan Edelman received the 2015 Babbage Award, given at the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium, for exceptional contributions to the field of parallel processing. Bonnie Berger was elected vice president of the International Society for Computational Biology.
