The Connections workshop will bring together leading experts working at the intersection of kinetic theory and stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Kinetic theory is a body of theory for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The phase-space formulation provides the flexibility of characterizing dynamics emerging from a wide range of applications, ranging from rarified gas, to plasma, to photons, to bacteria. Complementing this, SPDEs provide powerful tools for modeling systems influenced by random fluctuations and noise, essential for capturing the inherent uncertainties in complex processes. This workshop will delve into how these cutting-edge mathematical techniques can be integrated to analyze and predict the behavior of systems ranging from fluid dynamics to financial models.

Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS)

The BELIEF school is a biennial event organized by the Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS) that offers a unique opportunity for students and researchers to learn about fundamental and advanced aspects of the theory of belief functions (also referred to as Dempster-Shafer theory, or evidence theory), a formalism for reasoning with uncertainty. The school will be organized around a set of lectures by prominent researchers. Lectures will gradually tackle basic to more advanced theoretical concepts. They will also highlight the links with other uncertainty theories such as random sets and possibility theory, and present applications of belief functions in various domains including machine learning, information fusion, statistical inference and materials science.

This workshop will explore the latest advances in kinetic theory and stochastic particle dynamics in mean field regimes, covering both classical themes and emerging areas. Topics will include the derivation of kinetic type equations from particle and plasma systems, state-of-the-art numerical methods, studies of multiscale phenomena, and the applications of kinetic equations in physics, chemistry, computer sciences appearing in life sciences, social sciences, and machine learning. This workshop will offer an exciting opportunity to connect researchers from all stages and sub-areas and spark new ideas.

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.

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.
