Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM, the Simons Foundation, and the NSF,
will consider the role of topology in characterizing materials and
in the prediction of their physical properties, particularly for
two-dimensional material such as graphene.  The focus will be on
important mathematical questions at the interface of the analysis
and topology in the context of the governing fundamental partial
differential equations and other models.  Two such questions are the
bulk edge correspondence and the existence and robustness of edge
states in aperiodic settings. 

The workshop is organized by
Daniel Freed, Gian Michele Graf, Rafe Mazzeo, and Michael I Weinstein.

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
