Europe/Rome Abstract. Future large scale structure surveys are designed to study the nature of the dark side of the universe and the physics of the initial condition of the cosmos. In this context, the understanding of the distribution of structures of the cosmic web: dark matte halos, cosmic filaments and large scale voids in one hand and their clustering and connection with the luminous matter known as bias parameter, on the other hand are all valuable probes of beyond standard model of cosmology. In this talk, I will introduce the excursion set theory (EST) of nonlinear structure formation and the non-Markov solutions of first up-crossing in EST context which opens a new venue to study the distribution of dark matter halos and the bias parameter in more realistic cases. Also I will introduce the excursion set theory of saddle points as a new framework for studying cosmic filaments. Finally, I will discuss that how the EST framework can address the void phenomena in the context of uLCDM model which is introduced to address the H_0 tension. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome For ICTP-SAIFR school website click here ATTENTION: FRAUD ATTEMPT Dear speakers and organizers of american monsoons conference, We have been informed by one of the participants at our activities that a fake travel agency is contacting participants and pretending to handle their travel and accommodation. Please be aware that ICTP-SAIFR does NOT hire any travel agency or company to handle our travel/accommodation arrangements and please do not provide your personal data to anyone except the ICTP-SAIFR staff, whose contact information is available on our website (www.ictp-saifr.org). Also, please let us know if any travel agency contacts you by email or telephone about our activities. Thank you, Best regards, -- Jandira Oliveira http://www.ictp-saifr.org The Advanced School and Workshop will bring together scientists and students for presenting and discussing the progress in research on the American monsoons and their role in the global monsoon system, and for planning future activities. The American monsoons are important components of the global monsoon system. A very high percentage of the annual precipitation over most of South America occurs during the summer monsoon, including subtropical regions. The economy, agriculture, water and energy resources and, consequently, the livelihoods of the great majority of South America population are heavily dependent on the summer monsoon. Also the North American monsoon provides crucial water resources for Mexico, Central American countries, several island nations in the Caribbean and parts of the southwest USA. Predicting the intensity of American monsoon rainfall is not only a regional challenge, but is also relevant in the framework of a global sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasting system. The Advanced School and Workshop are fostered by the Working Group on American Monsoons, one of the regional monsoons working groups established under the coordination of the CLIVAR/GEWEX Monsoons Panel. Topics to be covered include: Global context, main features, life cycle of the American monsoons; Variability on diurnal, mesoscale and synoptic time scales; sub-seasonal to seasonal variability; Variability on interannual and decadal/interdecadal time scales; modulation of extreme events by climate variability; longer term variability and climate change; Predictability and prediction (weather, sub-seasonal, seasonal and longer lead times); modelling studies; Impacts on society; future challenges; plans for observational studies, diagnostic analyses, and modelling activities. Discussions on future collaboration. Participation The targeted audience includes scientists and advanced undergraduate and graduate students, interested in the American monsoons and their role in the global monsoon system. There is no registration fee, but the number of participants is limited. Participants are encouraged to make a presentation. If interested, please submit a short abstract of the contribution in the online registration form. As a rule, support for travel and subsistence expenses should be secured by the participants. However, limited funds are available for graduate students and early career researchers (PhD obtained within the last 5 years) who are nationals of, and working in, a developing Latin American country, subject to selection by the activity organizers. Such support is available only for those who attend the entire activity. Those applying for support are requested to submit an abstract. As the activity will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate knowledge of that language.

Europe/Rome Timothy Beers is the Grace-Rupley Professor of Physics at the University of Notre Dame, and a co-PI in the Physics Frontier Center JINA-CEE (Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics – Center for the Evolution of the Elements), funded by the US National Science Foundation. He is a former director of the US Kitt Peak National Observatory, and spent 25 years working as a Professor in Physics & Astronomy at Michigan State University. Beers is interested in the origin and evolution of the elements in the Universe, and the assembly of large spiral galaxies such as the Milky Way, a field now referred to as Galactic Archaeology. For decades, Professor Beers has designed and executed large-scale surveys of stars in the Milky Way, efficiently sifting through literally millions of individual stars in order to find those objects that have recorded the chemical history of the Universe in their atmospheres. His work has led to the identification of a subset of the so-called carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars that exhibit a characteristic light-element signature (enhanced C, N, O, Na, Si, Mg), now recognized to be due to nucleosynthesis processes associated with the very first stars born in the Universe. Presently he is conducting a survey for so-called r-process-enhanced stars, which are metal-poor stars that exhibit over-abundances of elements produced by the rapid neutron-capture process, and place strong constraints on the origin of over half of the elements beyond iron in the Periodic Table. Abstract: In this, the 150th Anniversary year of Mendeleyev’s Periodic Table, astronomers have pieced together plausible origin stories for most of the elements formed in nature. From the breakthrough observations of Paul Merrill (1952), which first demonstrated that essentially all elements beyond H and He were formed in stars, to the discovery of the astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture elements in binary neutron star mergers (2017), I present a summary of our modern understanding of this fascinating history. I also highlight a number of remaining questions, and how astronomers and physicists are working to fill in our gaps in knowledge. The talk will be livestreamed from the ICTP website. Light refreshments will follow the event. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Current approaches require a much closer link between physicists, chemists, computational scientists, on the one hand, and biologists/medical scientists, on the other, as well as the acquisition of a shared “language” and background. The aim of the school is to introduce young African researchers to the latest developments in the field of molecular biophysics, and to help forge links between theoretical and experimental communities, acting as a focus for the emerging biophysical sciences in Africa. The rapid development in the fields of biophysics, structural biology and nanotechnology has made available a new range of tools and approaches that have revolutionized biological and medical research, by allowing scientists to understand biology at the molecular level, manipulate nano-particles and macromolecular objects, and to monitor the behavior of single molecules. These developments are strongly connected to advances in computational biology and structural bioinformatics - ranging from structural biology to nanobiophysics, nanomedicine, single-molecule approaches - and with a revolutionary impact on biotechnology, pharmacology, drug delivery and early diagnostics of wide spread diseases.

Europe/Rome This activity is part of a two-week event consisting of Week 1: School and Workshop on Mixing and Control (16 - 20 September) Week 2: School and Workshop on Random Matrix Theory and Point Processes (23 - 27 September) To participate in both activities you need to submit two distinct applications. Week 1: Please click on the link "Apply here" on the left hand-side column Week 2: Please apply at: http://indico.ictp.it/event/8900/ DEADLINE for requesting participation for both weeks: 15 MAY 2019 ========================================================== Organizers: A. Agrachev, SISSA, Trieste A. Bufetov, Marseille & Steklov Institute T. Grava, SISSA & Bristol A. Guionnet, ENS Lyon S. Kuksin, Paris & Shandong University Local Organizer: S. Luzzatto, ICTP, Trieste The topics to be discussed at the activity are at the forefront of current research in Random Matrix Theory, Point Processes, Dynamical Systems and Control Theory. One of the main goals of the School and Workshop is to bring this material to both established and young mathematicians from all developing countries. Mini courses will be given as well as more advanced reserach seminars. The activity will be organized as two thematic weeks on interrelated topics. Each week will consist of one or two mini courses and some seminar speakers. Week 1: Mixing and Control Mixing and control central topic is the study, with the help of the mathematical control theory, of ergodic and mixing properties of dynamical systems stochastically perturbed by a very degenerate noise. This concerns the systems governed by nonlinear PDEs and ODEs. We also plan to discuss mathematical aspects of the non-equilibrium statistical physics and some other topics. Week 2: Random Matrix Theory and Point Processes The second week will focus on point processes arising in the study of random matrices such as determinantal point processes. These point processes satisfy the Kolmogorov 0-1 Law and the Central Limit Theorem of Soshnikov, are rigid in the sense of Ghosh and Peres and obey an analogue of the De Finetti Theorem. Palm-Khintchine theory for our point processs will be emphasized, as well as the connection with the theory of integrable systems. Numerous open problems will be discussed, in particular, those related to pfaffian point processes. Topics: Point process; Random matrices; Integrable probability; Integrable systems; Mixing; Stationary measure; Markov systems; Nonholonomic constraints; Controllability; Lecturers: A.

Europe/Rome TEQ - Testing the Large scale Limit of Quantum Mechanics, is a EU H2020 FET project, which will explore the macroscopic limit of quantum theory, with the specific goal of answering the question: does quantum coherence survive when the mass/complexity of a system increases, or does it break down as predicted by alternative formulations? Assessing the boundaries of quantum theory is one of the most relevant problems in modern physics, with also a clear technological impact, as the scalability of future quantum technologies depends on the possibly unlimited validity of the quantum paradigm. Within the framework of TEQ, the workshop Redefining the foundations of physics in the quantum technology era will explore the state of the art – both theoretically and experimentally – of our understanding of quantum theory and discuss the new directions of research. Speakers will include leading senior experts in quantum mechanics as well as junior members of the TEQ consortium. Registration is mandatory and is open till 30 June 2019.

Europe/Rome Ergodic theory has its origins in the the work of L. Boltzmann on the kinetic theory of gases. The closely related field of dynamical systems has a much older origin, going back at least to Newtonian mechanics. Both subjects have since flourished into extremely active subjects with connections to many parts of mathematics and the physical sciences. Progress has been especially rapid in the last few years in differentiable dynamics and homogeneous dynamics. Differentiable dynamics studies flows on smooth manifolds and has links with geometry while homogeneous dynamics is the study of subgroup actions on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups and has connections to number theory. It is the aim of this two week workshop to ga ther top experts in these two subjects to deliver expositions on the state of the art in these subjects. The first week will be devoted to differentiable dynamics and the second week to homogeneous dynamics. Special Lectures: Infosys-ICTS Ramanujan lectures - by Elon Lindenstrauss ICTS Distinguished lecture - by Marcelo Viana.

Agrachev, SISSA, Trieste A. Bufetov, Marseille & Steklov Institute T. Grava, SISSA & Bristol A. Guionnet, ENS Lyon S. Kuksin, Paris & Shandong University Local Organizer: S. Luzzatto, ICTP, Trieste The topics to be discussed at the activity are at the forefront of current research in Random Matrix Theory, Point Processes, Dynamical Systems and Control Theory. One of the main goals of the School and Workshop is to bring this material to both established and young mathematicians from all developing countries. Mini courses will be given as well as more advanced reserach seminars. The activity will be organized as two thematic weeks on interrelated topics. Each week will consist of one or two mini courses and some seminar speakers. Week 1: Mixing and Control Mixing and control central topic is the study, with the help of the mathematical control theory, of ergodic and mixing properties of dynamical systems stochastically perturbed by a very degenerate noise. This concerns the systems governed by nonlinear PDEs and ODEs. We also plan to discuss mathematical aspects of the non-equilibrium statistical physics and some other topics. Week 2: Random Matrix Theory and Point Processes The second week will focus on point processes arising in the study of random matrices such as determinantal point processes. These point processes satisfy the Kolmogorov 0-1 Law and the Central Limit Theorem of Soshnikov, are rigid in the sense of Ghosh and Peres and obey an analogue of the De Finetti Theorem. Palm-Khintchine theory for our point processs will be emphasized, as well as the connection with the theory of integrable systems. Numerous open problems will be discussed, in particular, those related to pfaffian point processes. Topics: Point process; Random matrices; Integrable probability; Integrable systems; Mixing; Stationary measure; Markov systems; Nonholonomic constraints; Controllability. Lecturers: A.

Europe/Rome The main focus is on recent developments in gauge theories, both in theoretical physics and in mathematics. This area is very fruitful for active interplays between Mathematics and Physics. In theoretical physics exact results in supersymmetric quantum field theories and superstrings on curved backgrounds prompted the interest in explicit calculations of (equivariant) Donaldson invariants also in higher rank and the possible definition of new invariants for four manifolds using non-Lagrangian theories. On the mathematical side, new results have been obtained for higher rank Donaldson invariants and Vafa-Witten invariants. A key role is played by the interplay of with representation theory and quantum integrable systems. These developments are also expected to have impact on enumerative geometry, knot theory and representation theory of infinite dimensional algebras. A key technical tool in these developments is equivariant localization which allows the extraction of exact results. Topics : higher rank Donaldson invariants Vafa-Witten invariants Donaldson-Thomas invariants study of the BPS spectra of (non Lagrangean) N=2 Gauge Theories and new four-dimensional invariants relation to matrix models and topological strings quantum Hitchin systems and character varieties gauge theories on complex toric surfaces and their instanton moduli spaces surface operators in gauge theory and moduli spaces of principal bundles with parabolic structure quantum cohomology of the instanton moduli space K-theory of quiver varietes quantum integrability, quantum Yang-Baxter equations relations to knot theory and Khovanov Homology higher dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and M-theory Lecturers: L.

Europe/Rome NeQuick 2 is the latest version of the ionosphere electron density model developed by the Telecommunications/ICT for Development of the ICTP in collaboration with the Institute for Geophysics, Astrophysics and Meteorology of the University of Graz, Austria. It is a quick-run global 3D ionospheric electron density model particularly designed for trans-ionospheric propagation applications. NeQuick has been used in several assessment studies concerning Space Weather effects on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Particular attention has been devoted to the mitigation of ionospheric effects in single frequency positioning applications and a specific version of the model, the NeQuick G, has been adopted as the ionospheric correction algorithm in the European GNSS Galileo. The proposed Workshop would allow the participants to be acquainted with the new developments of the model and its implementations. Special consideration will be devoted to NeQuick validation and its use in data ingestion and assimilation schemes adopted to retrieve global and regional 3-D ionospheric electron density specifications.

Europe/Rome Most of what we know so far about the origin and evolution of the Universe is based on the information carried by electromagnetic radiation received from distant objects or composing the CMB. The recent direct detections of Gravitational Waves (GWs) have opened a new window of observation for phenomena in which gravity, instead of light, is the messenger. A few black hole and neutron star mergers have been reported and a plethora of new events are expected to be detected in the near-to-mid future. Many possible sources, especially related to the physics of the early Universe, produce (stochastic backgrounds of) GWs with a characteristic frequency much larger than the LIGO frequency range. The detection of high frequency GWs (HFGWs) is however very challenging, and only a few proposals have been made so far. The goal of this workshop is an open-minded discussion on the experimental and theoretical prospects of HFGWs. What are the possible sources and how well are they theoretically understood? What are the challenges faced in experimental setups and what are possible ideas to go beyond current technology? What can we learn about our Universe within the expected sensitivity of these proposals in the next decade? Our goal is to tackle these open questions by gathering a selected sample of people who are interested in these questions both from the theoretical and the experimental points of view. A few dedicated talks aim at introducing the key aspects and questions and bridging the gap between the different communities, while leaving ample time for discussions. Topics: High Frequency Gravitational Waves Early Universe Cosmology High energy phase transitions Non-perturbative phenomena Interferometers Acoustic Cavities Optically levitated Sensors Speakers include: Odylio D.

Europe/Rome Worldwide, women constitute a decided minority in the physics community. One of the goals of this Workshop is to bring together women physicists from all over the world, so that they can share their thoughts and learn from each other's experiences. Another goal is to offer mini-workshops that deal with the various non-academic skills that are needed to succeed in a career in science, that male physicists often acquire through the old boys' network, but that women, being more isolated and thus lacking mentors, may find harder to pick up. In addition to hearing from successful female scientists who will share their thoughts and experiences, there will be sessions on topics such as how to write a CV, how to give oral presentations, how to write scientific articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals, the art of negotiation in an academic environment, and how to try to achieve a balance between the demands of career and family. There will also be a scientific poster session, and several opportunities for informal discussion. The Workshop is primarily aimed at women early in their scientific career (e.g. postdocs and junior faculty members), but we will consider applications from all women in physics. This is part of a continuing series of such workshops at ICTP, typically we will not consider applications from participants who have already attended a previous workshop in this series.

Europe/Rome Petra Rudolf was born in Munich, Germany. She studied Physics at the La Sapienza, University of Rome, where she specialized in Solid State Physics. In 1987 she joined the National Surface Science laboratory TASC INFM in Trieste for the following five years, interrupted by two extended periods in 1989 and 1990/1991 at Bell Labs in the USA, where she started to work on the newly discovered fullerenes. In 1993 she moved to the University of Namur, Belgium where she received her PhD in 1995 and then quickly moved from postdoctoral researcher to lecturer and senior lecturer before taking up the Chair in Experimental Solid State Physics at the University in Groningen in 2003. Her principal research interests lie in the areas of condensed matter physics and surface science, particularly molecular motors, 2D solids, organic thin films and inorganic-organic hybrids. Dr. Rudolf is the President of the European Physical Society; she was the President of the Belgian Physical Society in 2000/2001 and was elected member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering,honorary member of the Italian Physical Society, Fellow of the Institute of Physics, "Lid van verdienst" of the Dutch Physical Society and Fellow of the American Physical Society. For her work on molecular motors she received the 2007 Descartes Prize of the European Commission. In 2013 she was appointed Officer of the Order of Orange Nassau by H.M. Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. Abstract: Nano-engines and molecular motors form the basis of nearly every important biological process. In contrast to this solution chosen by Nature for achieving complex tasks, all of mankind's present day technologies function exclusively through their static or equilibrium properties. One can therefore easily anticipate that the controlled movement of molecules or parts of molecules offers unprecedented technological possibilities for the future. In this presentation I shall illustrate how introducing new concepts like incorporating a ratchet mechanism, allows for the creation of molecular engines that transcend simple switches. I shall discuss how to build molecular engines that allow movements at the molecular level to be coupled to the macroscopic world, e.g., to transport macroscopic objects like drops of liquid over a surface. Another example are molecular systems that can be triggered to form spontaneously functional structures with a well-defined position on surfaces. I shall discuss molecular switches, which can be addressed with light and charge transfer and show that such systems can be employed for “read and write” functions. The talk will be livestreamed from the ICTP website. Light refreshments will follow the event. The event is open to all those interested. ICTP ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome There is an urgent need to enhance the resilience of developing countries to climate and weather shocks in order to foster sustainable development. Better management of current climate variability can help societies better adapt to future climate change. For example, effective use of sub-seasonal to seasonal forecasts of rainfall hold the promise of effective early warning systems for floods and droughts, and actionable information for decision makers in agriculture, water management, and public health. Meanwhile, robust use of climate change scenarios can inform longer term policy decisions on time-scales of decades. For these applications, it is essential to build capacities for researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in developing countries to appropriately use climate information for evidence-based planning, and to apply a systems thinking lens towards discerning how climate considerations weave into interconnected sectoral issues. This one-week workshop therefore highlights the need for mainstreaming the integration of climate information into systems across sectors. Researchers and policy-makers need to understand the basics of climate data and their sources and uncertainties, and to become familiar with simple techniques for processing and distilling these into useful information for different scenarios or contexts. To achieve this, a lectures combined with hands-on exercises will be implemented. Participating researchers and practitioners will guided towards the application of concepts and techniques learned towards specific applications in their respective sectors, which will serve as the culminating activity of the workshop. TOPICS: Sources of climate data (e.g. IPCC Climate Atlas, Copernicus C3S, ERA5, CMIP, CORDEX, hydro-met agencies) Basic Linux-based techniques for processing climate data Use of RS-GIS for climate-related applications Systems approach to the climate-land-energy-water nexus Manila - Philippines ICTP pio@ictp.it

Europe/Rome The International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) are organizing a joint winter school on quantitative systems biology. This is the 8th school in the series and will be held at ICTS, Bengaluru, India. https://www.icts.res.in/program/qsb2019 QSB2019 is an advanced school aimed at graduate students and postdocs working in quantitative systems biology. The focus this year is on 'morphogenesis'. The main school will be held between December 9-20, 2019 and will be preceded by a pedagogic and intensive ‘Pre-School’ between December 3-6, 2019. The Pre-School will cover the basic concepts in cell and developmental biology and will have short modules on mathematical modelling and physical approaches to biology. The deadline for applications is 1 September 2019. The development of an organism from a single-celled zygote to an embryo involves a tight integration between gene expression, signaling and mechanochemical processes. In recent years, there has been an explosion in studies that attempt to unravel the physical principles behind how organisms self-organize to generate their three-dimensional shape and functional form. Novel microscopy techniques are giving unprecedented views into the processes of development at very high spatiotemporal resolution. This deluge of data necessitates a larger scale systems-level understanding how organisms build themselves. The eighth edition of the ICTP - ICTS winter school on quantitative systems biology is focussed on Morphogenesis and will allow students from different backgrounds to become familiar with exciting developments at the interface of Physics and Developmental Biology. The participants of the school will be exposed to contemporary research areas, covering a large variety of topics, including mechanochemical pattern formation, regeneration and growth regulation, evolutionary-developmental biology. The school will emphasize how major questions in developmental biology such as stem cell differentiation, morphogenesis, tissue patterning, and tissue mechanics, can be asked with the help of quantification and physical theory.

Europe/Rome ICTP and SISSA, in collaboration with the partner institutions of the International Master Course in Physics of Complex Systems, organize the Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems from 24 February to 20 March 2020. Many complex systems in physics, biology, engineering and economics are characterized by a large number of interacting degrees of freedom giving rise to a non-trivial collective behavior. The theoretical and computational tools for a quantitative analysis of complex systems are often rooted in modern (statistical, quantum) physics. The Spring College on the Physics of Complex Systems gives students the opportunity to get in touch with a selection of topics at the forefront of research during an intensive 4-week program. It consists of 5 courses of 9 lectures each, followed by final written tests. Lecturers and Courses: Mahesh Bandi (OIST, Okinawa, Japan) Fluctuations and Information in Physical Systems Ramakrishna Ramaswamy (Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, India) Synchrony in nonlinear dynamical systems Sidney Redner (Santa Fe Institute, New Mexico, USA) A Kinetic View of Statistical Physics Alessandro Silva (SISSA, Trieste, Italy) Quantum systems out of equilibrium Lenka Zdeborova (CNRS, Paris, France) Statistical Mechanics toolbox for Machine Learning Students and young researchers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA may apply for the College. Candidates are required to solicit recommendation letters to be sent by their supervisors in support of their application. Participants should have an adequate working knowledge of English. As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants should be borne by their home institutions. However, limited funds are available to partially support some participants, who are nationals of, and working in, a developing country, and who are not more than 45 years old. Such support is limited and candidates should make every effort to secure support for their travel, at least partial. Attendance of lectures and completion of the final written tests are mandatory for those who are granted ICTP funding. There is no registration fee. RULES FOR PARTICIPATION Participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students are required to attend at least 80% of the courses. Attendance is monitored regularly. Taking the final exam for each course is mandatory for participants with financial support from the ICTP and Master PCS students. Grading system: Each course will be graded on a scale from 0 to 20. Marks higher than 10 correspond to pass. A final grade will be given for the overall Spring College with the following scale: E- Excellent - 5 exams passed A- Very Good - 4 exams passed B- Good - 3 exams passed C- Sufficient - 2 exams passed F- Fail - 1 or no exams passed Certificates of attendance will be awarded only to participants who have attended at least 80% of the courses, with no exception.
