IAS Conference on Geometry and Correlations in Low-dimensional and Topological Materials (December 4-11, 2024) IAS Conference on Geometry and Correlations in Low-dimensional and Topological Materials (December 4-11, 2024)

Overview

Recent developments have revealed the importance of geometric and topological aspects of electrons in determining the correlated properties of novel materials. Such effects are further amplified in low-dimensional materials in which electrons are confined to move in a much more restricted manner. This invitation-only conference aims to assemble eminent researchers from all around the world for discussing latest developments in the field of low-dimensional and topological materials, with a focus on the how the wave function geometry and electronic correlations affect the physical properties of these materials. The conference seeks to foster scientific exchange on the latest research developments from various continents, build enduring collaborations and networks, and collectively advance our understanding of this novel class of materials.

Topics:

  Geometric effects in flat-band materials
  Topological semimetals and superconductors
  Geometry and topology in synthetic materials
  Strongly correlated electrons
