Interfaces are of interest not only in theoretical physics, such as condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, and quantum information, but also in mathematics. However, they have developed uniquely across different fields, making it challenging to grasp their full scope. Against this backdrop, this workshop aims to bring together experts from these disparate fields to share developments related to the study of interfaces, and to find new approaches and applications for interfaces from a fusion perspective.

Mathematically, the characterization of localization and delocalization is a rich and delicate problem. Many disciplines, including probability, the analysis of partial differential equations, and mathematical physics, offer tools to tackle localization questions. This workshop will convene researchers from across these fields to share new techniques, explore common questions, and initiate novel lines of research. Moreover, the workshop is designed to nurture a community of early-career researchers who are comfortable communicating and collaborating across disciplines.

The interaction between topology and curvature is a fundamental theme in modern mathematics. The study of scalar curvature plays an increasingly important role not only in geometry and topology, but also in general relativity and theoretical physics more generally through the theory of Dirac operators. This special session will bring together experts and young researchers who study these topics from many different points of view. The aim of this session is to share viewpoints and progress on understanding the scalar curvature and topology of manifolds, and to establish new connections among the culturally diverse groups spread worldwide, but particularly in the USA.

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge

Automorphic Maass and non-holomorphic Eisenstein forms have (re)emerged recently as exciting tools in the analysis of two dimensional conformal field theories and also of the semiclassical near-singularity dynamics of black holes. These automorphic forms are naturally expressed in terms of L-functions, which brings out their deep connections to number theory. This workshop will bring together experts on automorphic L-functions with researchers interested in the novel applications of this mathematical structure to questions in fundamental physics.

Hyperbolic spaces and, in particular, a generalization called asymptotically hyperbolic spaces, have in recent decades been the focus of intense mathematical interest. They have surprising applications in the physics of string theory and are important for the study of isolated systems in the theory of general relativity. The closely related de Sitter and anti-de Sitter spaces also arise in the study of cosmology. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together established experts and emerging new talents in the field who study diverse aspects of these fascinating objects. We will discuss some of the remarkable recent developments in the geometric analysis of these spaces, including developments in inverse problems, the various meanings of mass-energy in this setting, the interaction between the mathematical developments and physics, and new ideas to extend the theory beyond the asymptotically hyperbolic setting.

Baryonic matter in the Universe is almost exclusively (99,9 \%) in the plasma state, which is one of the four common states (with solid, liquid and gas), having the specificity of being strongly affected by electrical and magnetic fields. Already three generations of plasma physicists have worked at understanding more precisely the dynamics of plasmas, unravelling their secrets and bringing order to what seems by nature chaotic. Still, the plasmas continue to preserve a part of their mystery. First, our project aims to gain more insight into the microscopic reactions induced by the presence of radiation. Secondly, it is to mathematically elucidate how inertial effects coming from the mixing of charged species (like electrons and ions) is able to stabilize the plasma dynamics at very small scales. Incidently, this would bring innovative insight about some specificities of (magnetohydrodynamics).

Particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology cover the study of the universe from its smallest to largest scales. We study them in order to understand both the fundamental interactions that govern the universe and its large-scale structure and history. Advanced detectors at collider facilities that accelerate particles to near the speed of light and telescopes that monitor the night's sky looking back to the time just after the Big Bang are used to collect vast amounts of data in complicated datasets. Analyzing these data requires modern tools, making use of advanced machine learning and high performance computing infrastructure. This workshop brings together physicists, statisticians, and machine learning experts in order to make the most use of this data and learn as much from it as possible by discussing how to address the complexities of these large and detailed datasets, searching for 1 in a trillion events, and understanding correlations between thousands of quantities.

The School-Workshop will represent Quantum Rings as a special class of modern high-tech materials structures at the nanoscale. We will deal with their formation by molecular beam epitaxy and droplet epitaxy of semiconductors, their topology-driven electronic, optical, and magnetic properties. Highly complex theoretical models will be discussed which have been developed to adequately explain the specific features of Quantum Rings. We will specially emphasize development of low-cost high-performance electronic, spintronic, magnetic, optoelectronic and information processing devices based on various doubly-connected structures.

The UK has always been at the forefront of, and has a reputation in, integrable systems research. It is an area that glues together topics in mathematical physics, analysis, algebra, geometry, applied mathematics and probability. Research in non-commutative integrable hierarchies has had a recent resurgence – they have many applications, including (eg.) in non-commutative nonlinear optics, and have strong links to string theory. The main themes outlined align with, and will be led, by recent research by the invitees. We propose a different than usual workshop format, along the lines of those held at Oberwolfach and the American Institute of Mathematics. Nominated experts give feeder presentations in their areas on successive mornings, outlining the current frontier of research and open problems. In the afternoons, these are followed up by discussion sessions and working groups who report back to the workshop as a whole at the end of the day. The workshop structure develops dynamically throughout the week. The organisers and the Scientific Advisory Group meet daily to set the agenda ahead, using feedback from the end-of-day reports and participants.

(i) Regularity and solutions; (ii) Non-commutativity, both in terms of non-Abelian (eg.\/ matrix) versions of classical integrable systems and in terms of non-commutative independent variables; and (iii) The connections of such systems to random matrix theory.

A team of three leading experts in algebraic and quantum geometry will convene at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) to tackle a longstanding conjecture on the classification of vector bundles on the quantum projective line. Their collaboration aims to bridge the gap between classical algebraic geometry and emerging structures in quantum geometry, advancing our understanding of noncommutative spaces. The classification of vector bundles has been a cornerstone of modern algebraic geometry, with the celebrated Grothendieck’s Theorem providing a complete classification of vector bundles over the classical projective line. However, the quantum analog remains an open problem, representing a major challenge in the study of noncommutative algebraic geometry. A positive solution to the conjecture under investigation would significantly advance the field, providing new insights into the structure of quantum projective spaces and their applications in both mathematics and theoretical physics.

One of the most important tools to quantitatively describe families of two-dimensional conformal field theories are gauged linear sigma models (GLSMs). As such they offer a powerful and indispensable method to study string compactifications and their phase structures from a worldsheet perspective. Over the years, the scope of GLSMs has developed much further, namely not only as a methodology to study string theories, but also to address fundamental questions of (supersymmetric) quantum field theories, in particular in two, three and four dimensions. That is to say, GLSMs have provided key insights into numerous aspects of mathematical physics, offering a bridge to various fields in mathematics such as enumerative and algebraic geometry and category theory. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from physics and mathematics in order to address topical research questions and to identify new applications for GLSMs.

During the 20th century, interactions between geometers and theoretical physicists were revolutionary in both areas, leading to such unexpected developments as mirror symmetry and the impact of topological field theory on invariants of 4-manifolds. Another momentum is now developing around new connections between number theory and physics, mainly but not exclusively through the theory of automorphic forms. We have reached a time when contacts between number theorists and physicists have the potential for another revolution.

Mathematics is crucial in developing the models employed in physics, and observations from physics can catalyze new branches of mathematics. Mirror symmetry is a classic example of this two-way interaction. In the context of K3 surfaces, mirror symmetry is a relation between families whose Picard lattices are complementary in the even unimodular lattice of signature (2,18). Not every family of K3 surfaces has a mirror, but this construction has been very useful in studying K3 surfaces that are toric hypersurfaces, for example. Physicists have studied K3 surfaces, elliptic fibrations, and mirror symmetry on them in connection with string theory; this provides a concrete setting that can lead to the discovery of new properties of Calabi-Yau threefolds. The study of K3 surfaces in families naturally leads to Calabi-Yau threefolds and manifolds of higher dimension. In recent years, several connections have been established between these varieties, Feynman integrals, and Φ4 theory.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from different areas of mathematics and physics in order to foster a fruitful exchange of knowledge and achieve new insights.
