DESCRIPTION:Prof. H.-M. Nguyên (EPFL)\nNegative index materials are artif
 icial structures whose refractive index has negative value over some frequ
 ency range.\nThe study of these materials has attracted a lot of attention
  in the scientific community not only because of their many potential inte
 resting applications but also because of challenges in understanding their
  appealing properties due to the sign-changing coefficients in equations d
 escribing their properties. In this talk\, I give a survey on recent mathe
 matical progress in understanding applications and properties of these mat
 erials. In particular\, I discuss superlensing and cloaking using compleme
 ntary media\, cloaking an object via anomalous localized resonance\, the p
 ossibility that a lens can become a cloak and conversely\, and various con
 ditions on the stability of these materials.
