The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model has proved to be a fertile ground for many areas of modern physics such as black holes, holography, condensed matter physics and many-body quantum chaos. In recent years, considerable progress has been made on the double-scaled limit of the SYK model (DSSYK), which is generic to a large class of p-local systems and beyond, and can be solved with great precision using combinatorial tools. New frontiers that emerged include noncommutative spacetimes and quantum groups, new “fake geometries” and negative distances in the bulk, and suggestions for the quantum nature of de Sitter gravity. All of the above topics are under active research by leading experts from different physics communities. We bring them together by for a one-week workshop at the SCGP to pursue further advancement in these research fields.

The Astrobiology Science Conference (AbSciCon) brings the astrobiology community together every two years to share research, collaborate, and plan for the future. AbSciCon is a community-organized conference that provides a forum for reporting on new discoveries, sharing data and insights, advancing collaborative efforts and initiating new ones, planning new projects, and educating the next generation of astrobiologists.

The conference will be hosted on the campus of Texas A&M University - College Station, in the Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy.

The meeting brings together participants, collaborators, and other interested researchers in nuclear physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and other relevant fields to discuss progress, build collaborations, share ideas and report exciting new developments in the understanding of the origin of the elements and the physics of neutron stars in the time domain and multi-messenger (TDAMM) era.

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers interested in the significant role radioactive nuclei play in the cosmos and particularly with respect to questions in astrophysics. The scientific program will cover topics related to the role of radioactivity within galactic chemical evolution, cosmochemistry, the origin of elements, and multi-messenger astronomy.

Supergravity is intrinsically associated with Stony Brook. It may well be the most significant physics discovery in the entire history of the Yang Institute. Since 1976, many researchers have worked to generalize the basic theory we found and apply it to the physics of elementary particles and gravity. Along the way supergravity has made contact with frontline mathematics, notably geometry and topology. The records of the Inspire archive vouchsafe for the fact that supergravity has become a major subject in theoretical physics. There are 6242 papers in which the word supergravity appears in the title and 19868 additional papers in which it is a keyword. (Keywords primarily appear in the abstract.) The subjects of these specialized lectures will be determined by the international committee. We also intend to cover the relation of supergravity to string theory (Maldacena, Schwarz), mathematics (Vafa), black holes (Warner) phenomenology (including cosmology) (Kallosh, Skenderis), and condensed matter (Erdmenger). We plan to have a panel discussion on the impact and future of supergravity.

​Code/Astro is a week-long astronomy software development workshop motivated by the growing usage of open-source software in astronomical research. The goal of this program is to teach participants fundamental software engineering skills and best practices for building sustainable open-source packages for astronomy applications. During the workshop, participants will obtain hands-on experience with software engineering by developing a small software package from scratch. The workshop will also serve as a networking and career development opportunity. The workshop is free and open to folks at all career levels.

American Astronomical Society (AAS)

One of the central features of the AAS Summer and Winter Meetings is their plenary talks spanning the full breadth of astrophysics. Some plenaries are given by prize winners from the AAS and other organizations, while other speakers are selected by the AAS Vice Presidents. Most plenary talks present science content, but talks on the state of the profession, demographics, and societal issues of relevance to the astronomical community are also regularly scheduled.
