Meetings/Workshops on Algebra in Germany

Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach (MFO, Oberwolfach Research Institute for Mathematics)

Recent progress in the study of BPS states in string theory and in supersymmetric field theories, as well as on the theory of topological recursion, gives hints towards profound connections with the exact WKB method from the mathematical study of differential equations with a large parameter, and the abelianisation of flat connections on Riemann surfaces. The goals of our workshop are to bring together some leading experts in the field to stimulate the interactions between these lines of research, and to introduce young researchers and PhD students to attractive topics of current research with a rich potential for further developments.

This will be a short workshop with lectures, presentations and informal discussions on polytopes and their relations to algebraic geometry. It is funded by the Einstein Foundation Berlin. It is one of the activities in the thematic Einstein semester Varieties Polyhedra and Computations (http://ehrhart.math.fu-berlin.de/agplus/).

polytopes, algebraic geometry, toric geometry, tropical geometry, Ehrhart theory, triangulations

Geometry and Topology,    Graph Theory and Combinatorics

The winter school will present two incarnations of the implicit function theorem to master and PhD students: the implicit function theorem of Nash and Moser, and the implicit function theorem in scale calculus and polyfold-theory as developed by Hofer, Wysocki and Zehnder. There will be two mini-courses on the theoretical framework of each incarnation which will be complemented by talks on classical and current applications to analysis and geometry.

The theme of the conference is reductive groups in a broad sense, i.e. we intend to have talks on harmonic analysis, representation theory, automorphic forms, geometry and ergodic theory.

The Circle Method emerged one hundred years ago from ideas of Ramanujan, Hardy and Littlewood, and quickly became the most powerful analytic method for counting solutions to Diophantine equations. As the Circle Method enters its second century, new work is making significant advances both in strengthening results in classical Diophantine settings, and in demonstrating applications in novel settings. This includes function field, number field, adelic, geometric, and harmonic analytic applications, with striking consequences in areas such as ergodic theory, subconvexity for L -functions, and the Langlands program. This summer school for graduate students and postdocs will present accessible lecture series that demonstrate how to apply the Circle Method in a wide variety of settings.

Transchromatic phenomena appear in a variety of contexts. These include stable and unstable homotopy theory, higher category theory, topological field theories, and arithmetic geometry. The aim of the conference is to bring together people from all of these areas in order to understand the relationship between each others work and to further demystify the appearance of transchromatic patterns in such disparate areas.

Higher Chern classes, Volumes, L-functions, and polylogarithms, Metric structures on cohomology, vector bundles, and cycles, Higher categories and enriched structures

Homotopical and higher categorical methods have seen increasing importance in mathematics, both as foundations and as computational tools. In fact, such methods merge two apparently distinct goals: understanding geometrical forms and classifying mathematical structures. This conference aims at gathering together under this perspective geometers in a rather broad sense. It seeks to foster the applications of these higher methods in the interplay between homotopy theory, arithmetic, and algebraic geometry.
