Workshop: Flat Bands, Strong Correlations, and Heavy Fermions

International Workshop
31 March - 4 April 2025

This One-Week Workshop will bring together the communities interested in flat bands of moiré structures and frustrated-lattice materials on the one hand, and strongly correlated electron systems anchored by f-electron materials on the other, with Kondo physics serving as an intellectual link. It will highlight the extensive recent developments in each area, and foster interactions between the communities that are both opportune and much-needed.

There will be multiple sessions of invited talks, including the ones on flat bands and strongly correlated systems respectively, and those that intertwine the two areas or feature late developments. To engage the junior participants, there will also be sessions of poster presentations and contributed talks selected from submitted abstracts. Ample time will be devoted to discussions, including in dedicated discussion sessions.

Topics include

Flat band

• Moiré systems
• Frustrated-lattice materials

Strongly correlated materials

• Heavy-fermion systems
• Transition-metal compounds

Cross-cutting topics

• Topology and geometry
• Kondo effect
• Localization-delocalization
