The Hamilton Mathematics Institute (HMI){{cite web|title=HMI|url=http://hamilton.tcd.ie/?|publisher=Trinity College Dublin}} is a mathematics Institute in Trinity College Dublin named in honour of William Rowan Hamilton who was Andrews Professor of Astronomy at Trinity College Dublin. The HMI was originally created in 2003 to mark the bicentenary of Hamilton's birth and launched in 2005.{{cite web|title=Hamilton Mathematics Institute welcomes two Fields Medal winners|url=https://www.tcd.ie/news_events/articles/hamilton-mathematics-institute-welcomes-two-fields-medal-winners/|publisher=Trinity College Dublin}}{{cite web|title=Events to mark the occasion |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/events-to-mark-the-occasion-1.407868 |publisher=Irish Times}} It aims to improve the international profile of Irish mathematics, to raise public awareness of mathematics and to support local mathematical research through workshops, conferences and a visitor programme.
Structure
The institute's founding and current director is Samson Shatashvili.{{cite web|title=Academics honoured for 'outstanding contributions' |url=https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/academics-honoured-for-outstanding-contributions-26702523.html |publisher=The Irish Independent}} There is an advisory board of prominent mathematicians,{{cite web|title=HMI Structure and Governance |url=https://www.tcd.ie/Hamilton/people/ |publisher=Trinity College Dublin}} including Fields medalists Maxim Kontsevich and Andrei Okounkov. Previous advisory board members included Michael Atiyah, Friedrich Hirzebruch and Ludvig Faddeev; John T. Lewis was an patron of the HMI before its launch.{{cite web|title=Theoretical physicist who revolutionised telecoms|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/theoretical-physicist-who-revolutionised-telecoms-1.1304632 |publisher=Irish Times}}{{cite web|title=Sir Michael Atiyah OM FRS FRSE FMedSci FAA FREng, 1929 - 2019|url=https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/school-of-mathematics/sir-michael-atiyah |publisher=The University of Edinburgh |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210802071243/https://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/school-of-mathematics/sir-michael-atiyah |archive-date=2021-08-02 |url-status=dead}} The day-to-day management of the HMI is conducted by an executive committee drawn from the School of Mathematics in Trinity College Dublin.
Activities
The institute regularly organises events and hosts visiting academics.{{cite web|title=HMI News & Events |url=https://www.tcd.ie/Hamilton/events/ |publisher=Trinity College Dublin}} The Simons Foundation has provided support for visiting professors, postdoctoral fellow and scholars.{{cite web|title=Targeted Grants to Institutes |url=https://www.simonsfoundation.org/grant/targeted-grants-to-institutes/?tab=awardees |publisher=Simons Foundation}} Visiting professors have included Anton Alekseev, Mikhail Kapranov and Francis Brown.
The institute hosts a regular series of HMI Workshops on specialist topics including integrable systems, lattice methods and geometric computation.{{cite web|title=Juan Miguel Nieto Garcia and Alessandro Torrielli co-organize online workshop with the Hamilton Mathematics Institute | url=https://blogs.surrey.ac.uk/mathsresearch/2021/08/16/juan-miguel-nieto-garcia-and-alessandro-torrielli-co-organize-online-workshop-with-the-hamilton-mathematics-institute/ |publisher=University of Surrey}} It has also been involved in the organisation of events including the International Workshop on Topological Quantum Computing and William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop.{{cite web|title=Events | url=http://www.thphys.nuim.ie/daqist/events.php |publisher=Dublin Area Quantum Information, Science and Technology}}{{cite web|title=William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop | url=https://www.grantome.com/grant/NSF/DMS-1037908 |publisher=Granttome }}{{cite web|title=William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop | url=https://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=0624240 |publisher=National Science Foundation}} It has also supported student events such as the Hamilton School on Mathematical Physics.{{cite web |title=Hamilton School on Mathematical Physics | url=https://www.maths.tcd.ie/~hiddingm/hmischool20/#/ |publisher=School of Mathematics}} In 2023, Erik Verlinde was a visiting professor and delivered a series of lectures on Operator Algebras and Black Hole Information.
The HMI has also held events in memory of notable mathematicians and physicists. In 2005 the HMI organised the John Lewis lecture series with the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, where Jurg Frohlich delivered the lectures.{{cite web|title=Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies ANNUAL REPORT 2005 |url=https://www.dias.ie/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dias_annual_report_2005.pdf |publisher=Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies}} Similarly, the 2006 lecture series was delivered by S. R. Srinivasa Varadhan on Random Walks and Large Deviations.{{cite web|title=2006-05-15 – Random Walks and Diffusions in a Random Environment |url=https://www.dias.ie/2010/08/25/2006-05-15-random-walks-and-diffusions-in-a-random-environment/ |publisher=Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies}} In 2006 they also jointly organised a symposium on the work of Lochlainn O'Raifeartaigh.{{cite web|last=Ahlstrom |first=Dick |title=Remembering a pioneer of supersymmetry|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/remembering-a-pioneer-of-supersymmetry-1.1023792 |publisher=Irish Times}} On {{Date|September 27, 2019}}, the institute hosted a conference, which was dedicated to Michael Atiyah.{{Cite web|last=McKinney-Perry|first=Rachel|date=2019-10-01|title=Hamilton mathematics institute receives $600,000 grant|url=http://trinitynews.ie/2019/10/hamilton-mathematics-institute-receives-600000-grant/|access-date=2021-07-13|website=Trinity News|language=en-GB}}
The HMI has hosted outreach events, such as the first Team Maths Final organised by the Irish Mathematics Teachers association.{{Cite web|title=St. Peter's in maths quiz final |url=https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/news/st-peters-in-maths-quiz-final/27661828.html |access-date=2023-05-27 |date=2005-03-03 |website=Independent.ie}}
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine the HMI offered three research internships to students displaced by the war.{{Cite web |title=Support for Ukrainian mathematicians from Trinity College Dublin |url=https://mathematics.in.ua/uk/jobs/item/130-support-for-ukrainian-mathematicians-from-trinity-college-dublin |access-date=2023-05-27 |date=2022-03-30 |website=Ukrainian Mathematical Community}}
