Analytic questions of a discrete nature are ubiquitous in many areas of mathematics and theoretical computer science. The purpose of this conference is to bring together a diverse group of experts working, broadly, on Discrete Analysis with particular emphasis on questions having a geometric component. The topics will include Boolean analysis, vector-valued harmonic analysis, metric embeddings, geometry of graphs and groups, and aspects of discrete probability and theoretical computer science.

Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics (ICERM)

Given an incidence structure, one may model a variety of geometric problems. This Semester Program will revolve around two fundamental examples and their applications to modern challenges in the study, analysis, and design of materials. (1) Packings and patterns of circles where the underlying combinatorics are mixed with advanced geometric concepts and strong links are made to discrete differential geometry. (2) The rigidity and flexibility of bar-joint structures where real algebraic geometry is intertwined with sparse graph theory and matroidal techniques. A prime objective of the program is to advance the applicability of these topics to fundamental applications, most notably in statistical physics and materials science.

The program will integrate diverse fields of discrete mathematics, geometry, theoretical computer science, mathematical biology, and statistical and soft matter physics. Various workshops will be designed to attract both theoretical and applied practitioners and to stimulate the cross-fertilization of ideas between these disparate communities.

The aim of this programme is to break new ground in the arithmetic theory of K3 surfaces and closely related varieties (e.g., Enriques and elliptic surfaces; hyper-Kähler varieties), capitalising on a web of recent advances and conjectural frameworks. Progress on the arithmetic of K3 surfaces will likely have important consequences for more general questions about Shimura varieties, abelian and hyper-Kähler varieties, their rational and algebraic points.

Friezes, introduced 50 years ago by Coxeter, are patterns of integers defined by a simple, local condition. They consist of a finite (or infinite) number of rows written in a lattice, starting with a row of 0s and a row of 1s and satisfying a local SL2-rule: for any four neighbours a, b, c, d forming a diamond we require ad − bc = 1. Since the discovery of links to cluster algebras of type A, a plethora of generalisations have been studied in the last decades. With this workshop, we will provide a platform to establish new links between friezes and research areas in geometry, algebra and combinatorics.

This big event will be the concluding conference of the semester. As is, presentations will cover a wide variety of topics from Real Algebraic Geometry and Birational Geometry. Most of the targeted speaker will be experts of the three subdomains we discuss in the project and some people are already involved in the other events but we want also to bring these subjects to a larger audience and some speakers will discuss of hot subjects from other parts of Real Algebraic Geometry and Birational Geometry.

CIRM – Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques

The interactions between dynamics and geometry in dimensions up to three are fertile, they have been at the origin of many recent discoveries. A particularly nice example is the genericity of the set of three-dimensional Reeb flows admitting infinitely many periodic orbits. These interactions are also at the heart of a number of current research programs around the world in various directions. Transverse geometric structures (possibly singular), for example, represent a promising line of work for the study of Anosov flows in dimension three. Methods and concepts from one-dimensional dynamical systems, singular geometric structures on surfaces (of which translation surfaces are the paradigmatic example) and three-dimensional flows are fundamental. These ideas permeate a large part of mathematics, inspiring many higherdimensional notions, but are not as well-known as they should be by a wider public of young researchers in geometry and dynamics. The aim of this summer school is to help filling this gap, through three in-depth mini-courses on circle diffeomorphisms, translation surfaces and the dynamics of three-dimensional Reeb flows.

Homotopy theory is in the midst of a renaissance as its usefulness in other areas of mathematics is becoming increasingly recognised. From polyhedral products in geometric group theory, to combinatorial methods in group theory, to topological properties of manifolds and spaces of embeddings, to Morava K-theory in symplectic geometry, to simplicial methods in topological data analysis, to a host of applications in mathematical physics - and these name only a few areas of interaction - homotopy theory over the past ten to fifteen years has significantly extended its reach. This program will assemble a wide range of leading experts to discuss the state of the art in current research, both in terms of core fundamental problems and crossover to other areas, and explore exciting new directions.

The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences

This workshop will accelerate development of new directions in chromatic and unstable homotopy theory and in the homotopy theory of polyhedral products. Key will be the exploration of areas of interaction: unstable homotopy theory and polyhedral products have substantial existing intersection while recent developments in chromatic homotopy theory suggest exciting new intersections with unstable homotopy theory and polyhedral products.

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)

The purpose of the SIAM Activity Group on Algebraic Geometry is to bring together researchers who use algebraic geometry in industrial and applied mathematics. "Algebraic geometry" is interpreted broadly to include at least: algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, noncommutative algebra, symbolic and numeric computation, algebraic and geometric combinatorics, representation theory, and algebraic topology. These methods have already seen applications in: biology, coding theory, cryptography, computational geometry, computer graphics, quantum computing, control theory, geometric design, complexity theory, machine learning, nonlinear partial differential equations, optimization, robotics, and statistics. We welcome participation from everyone interested in this broadly interpreted notion of algebraic geometry and its applications.

Lie groups are central objects in modern mathematics; they arise as the automorphism groups of many homogeneous spaces, such as flag manifolds and Riemannian symmetric spaces. Often, one can construct manifolds locally modelled on these homogeneous spaces by taking quotients of their subsets by discrete subgroups of their automorphism groups. Studying such discrete subgroups of Lie groups is an active and growing area of mathematical research. The objective of this summer school is to introduce young researchers to a class of discrete subgroups of Lie groups, called Anosov subgroups. These subgroups are central objects in the study of higher Teichmuller theory, convex projective geometry, and character varieties. In this summer school, there will be an emphasis on discussing some of the dynamical tools that have recently been successfully used to study Anosov subgroups. The required background in dynamics, hyperbolic geometry, and Lie theory will also be discussed. Aside from providing a stimulating academic environment for learning about Anosov subgroups, this summer school also aims to be a relaxed and friendly space for participants to interact with fellow aspiring mathematicians.

Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath)

This school will serve as an introduction to the SLMath semester “Topological and Geometric Structures in Low-Dimensions”. The school consists of two mini-courses: one on Teichmüller Theory and Hyperbolic 3-Manifolds and the other on Anosov Flows on Geometric 3-Manifolds. Both topics lie at the interface of low-dimensional geometric topology (specifically, surfaces, foliations, and 3-manifolds) and low-dimensional dynamics. The first course will be targeted towards students who have completed the standard first year graduate courses in geometry, topology, and analysis while the second course will geared towards more advanced students who are closer to beginning research. However, we expect that all students will benefit from both courses.

American Institute of Mathematics, Pasadena, California (AIM)

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to studying a nascent bridge between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry, with an emphasis on developing Macaulay2 software for homological computations at the interface of these two fields. Recent breakthrough work of Hanlon-Hicks-Lazarev and Favero-Huang employs symplectic techniques to build line bundle resolutions over toric varieties, resolving several conjectures in toric geometry and multigraded commutative algebra. These results have illuminated a striking new connection between commutative algebra and symplectic geometry: this workshop will bring together experts in these fields with the goal of increasing our computational power to study the interplay between them.

The Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI)

This week-long conference is in celebration of the 10-year anniversary of AATRN, the Applied Algebraic Topology Research Network. It will be the first time that AATRN meets in person, bringing together researchers from different backgrounds—mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, biology, etc. In other words, AATRN will be “geometrically realized” at the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation in Chicago, USA!

We also welcome related topics! There will be several introductory lectures and longer research talks, and some short (lightning) talks. There also will be ample time for discussions and informal interactions.

American Institute of Mathematics, Pasadena, California (AIM)

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to studying arithmetic dynamics of multiple maps. In classical arithmetic dynamics, we consider the iteration of a single endomorphism of a variety defined over a field of arithmetic interest — typically a number field or the function field of a curve. An exciting new direction in arithmetic dynamics that holds particular promise for striking new results is what we call "dynamics of multiple maps": dynamical behavior arising from the interaction of two or more endomorphisms on the same space. This includes iteratively applying rational functions on P1 chosen at random from a family according to some probability distribution; a correspondence from a variety X to itself; and forming words from a non-commuting family of involutions on a K3-surface.
