ICMS, The Bayes Centre, Edinburgh

This workshop will bring together leading, as well as early career, researchers on arithmetic statistics and on algorithmic aspects of algebra and number theory, with the aim of fostering collaborations within and between these communities, and to offer early career researchers the opportunity to get a broad overview of the most recent achievements and of the most pressing problems in these fields. The workshop will also celebrate the mathematics of Hendrik W Lenstra Jr.

Random Matrix Theory (RMT) is ubiquitous in the mathematical and physical sciences because of its broad range of applications and its predictive power, which allow accurate calculations and asymptotic analysis that are not accessible through traditional techniques. The interdisciplinary nature of RMT is epitomized by Prof. Jon Keating’s career, which has been characterized by the rare ability of initiating new areas of research by bringing together areas of mathematics that on the surface have little in common. This conference will feature leading mathematicians working at the interface of quantum chaos, analytic number theory, probability and random matrix theory.

The purpose of this workshop is to honour the 70th birthday of Professor Roger Heath-Brown FRS, which takes place on 12th October 2022. Professor Heath-Brown has been a leading figure in analytic number theory for over fifty years. He has more than 180 publications since 1974, and nearly 3000 citations, by over 1000 authors. These are monumental numbers by the standards of pure mathematics. During the course of his career, Professor Heath-Brown has revolutionised many different branches of analytic number theory, inspiring new generations of number theorists to go further than ever before. His research is studded with gems, whose impact is still reverberating in modern day research.

Victor P. Snaith (1944 – 2021) was distinguished not just as an outstanding mathematician who made deep and lasting contributions in algebraic topology and number theory but also as a charismatic leader who enthusiastically developed research communities and generously supported young researchers.

The conference will bring together homotopy theory, cohomology of groups, algebraic K-theory and number theory, the main areas in which Vic worked. The aim is to feature important developments, paying special attention to synergies between these areas, as Vic did in much of his versatile research.

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)

This workshop aims to bring together researchers from number theory, automorphic representation theory and string theory to explore how automorphic forms that encode degeneracies of BPS could be related to and feed into information theoretic concepts such as quantum error corrections, applied to BPS and near-extremal black hole backgrounds, and to develop machine learning techniques to unveil some of the hitherto undefined automorphic structures underlying the generating functions for BPS black hole microstates in superstring models. This event is the first workshop of the 4-month long BLH programme at the INI centred around the same topics.
