3-manifold groups
05 Jun 2023 - 16 Jun 2023 • Montréal, Canada
Organizer:
CRM / Université de Montréal
Abstract:
This workshop focuses on several themes related to the fundamental groups of 3-manifolds. The themes include: the theory character varieties, Thurston norm polytopes and fibrations, orderability, profinite rigidity, and variations on the Cannon conjecture. The first week of the workshop will feature mini-courses by Ian Biringer (Boston College), Michelle Chu (Minnesota), Nathan Dunfield (Illinois-Urbana), and Daniel Groves (Illinois-Chicago). The second week will be devoted to research talks.

Cubes and combinatorial non-positive curvature
19 Jun 2023 - 30 Jun 2023 • Montréal, Canada
Organizer:
CRM / Université de Montréal
Abstract:
The mini-courses and research talks will address several themes, including: nonpositively-curved cube complexes, median spaces, (coarsely) Helly spaces and groups, and various combinatorial notions of nonpositive curvature. The first week of the workshop involves mini-courses by Elia Fioravanti (MPI Bonn), Thomas Haettel (Université de Montpellier), Nima Hoda (ENS Paris), Nir Lazarovich (Technion). The second week will be devoted to research talks.

BIRS Workshop — Motives and Invariants: Theory and Applications to Algebraic Groups and their Torsors
08 Oct 2023 - 13 Oct 2023 • Banff, Alberta, Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Abstract:
In this workshop, we want to bring together researchers from both sides of this development: those mathematicians specializing in the application of modern algebraic and algebro-geometric methods to the study of algebraic groups and their torsors, as well as those working on relevant aspects of the motivic and cohomological approaches from a more abstract viewpoint. We hope that bringing this mix of researchers together will have a synergistic impact, leading to concrete new applications of the abstract machinery to outstanding problems on quadratic forms, algebras with involution and algebraic groups, but also inspiring progress on the general development of the motivic and cohomological methods.

BIRS Workshop — Subfactors and Fusion (2-)Categories
03 Dec 2023 - 08 Dec 2023 • Banff, Alberta, Canada
Organizer:
Banff International Research Station (BIRS) for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery
Abstract:
The symmetries of classical mathematical objects form a group. In the past several decades, we have seen new quantum mathematical objects like von Neumann algebras and quantum field theories whose symmetries are best described by tensor categories. One reason for this is that these mathematical objects naturally form higher categories, and thus their endomorphisms naturally form higher monoidal categories. In this sense, we view fusion categories as objects which encode quantum symmetries. Subfactors are a rich source of examples of exotic unitary fusion categories, and conversely, every unitary fusion category arises from a subfactor. This correspondence leads to deep mathematical connections between these fields. These mathematical objects are also intimately related to conformal field theory and topological phases of matter, which give topological quantum field theories, in which higher categories play an important role. The purpose of this workshop is built on the 2014 and 2018 BIRS workshops on subfactors and fusion categories, with the goal of studying these objects through a higher categorical lens. To do so, we will bring together world experts from subfactors, fusion categories, higher categories, and mathematical physics to further develop the deep and rich connections between these fields.
