Quantum Fields, Probability, and Geometry
February 10 - May 21, 2027
Over the past 70 years, quantum field theories (QFTs) have successfully modeled and analyzed a wide range of physical phenomena, from critical behavior in statistical mechanics to interactions among fundamental particles. Despite their empirical success, a rigorous mathematical framework for these theories remains elusive.
This semester-long program at the Mittag-Leffler Institute will address this fundamental challenge, drawing on recent advances in the rigorous study of QFTs through probability theory and geometry.
A key goal is to bring together researchers from diverse fields—including theoretical physics, probability, and geometry —that do not typically intersect.
The scientific program of the semester will include two week-long workshops:
Workshop 1: February 15-19
Workshop 2: May 17-21
