The mathematics and physics around gauge theory have, since their first interaction in the mid 1970's, prompted tremendous developments in both mathematics and physics. Deep and fundamental tools in partial differential equations have been developed to provide rigorous foundations for the mathematical study of gauge theories. This led to ongoing revolutions in the understanding of manifolds of dimensions 3 and 4 and presaged the development of symplectic topology. Ideas from quantum field theory have provided deep insights into new directions and conjectures on the structure of gauge theories and suggested many potential applications. The focus of this program will be those parts of gauge theory which hold promise for new applications to geometry and topology and require development of new analytic tools for their study.

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MRSI)

The Introductory Workshop aims to provide a coherent overview of current research in algebraic cycles, L-values, Euler systems, and the many connections between them. This includes the study of special cycles on Shimura varieties and moduli spaces of shtukas, integral representations of L-values and the construction of p-adic L-functions, and the construction of Euler systems from special elements in Chow groups or higher Chow groups of Shimura varieties. Workshop lectures will be organized into short lecture series, so as to allow each series to begin with expository lectures on foundational results before moving on to current research.

Their lectures present a panoramic overview over some important developments in their field with the goal to enable the participants to actively participate in the new directions of research emerging from these developments.

Group Theory,    Geometry and Topology

TORUS is an annual one-day conference that has been held since 2005 at different universities in the Texas and Oklahoma regions. It provides opportunities for undergraduates interested in the study of mathematics to participate in scholarly and social activities in mathematics with other colleges and universities with the goal of encouraging students to pursue graduate study and careers in mathematics. TORUS also helps strengthen connections between undergraduate-focused colleges/universities in the Texas Oklahoma region and encourages faculty at these institutions to pursue research projects with undergraduate students.

Families of p-adic automorphic forms are well studied objects of arithmetic geometry since the pioneering work of Hida and Coleman. Their study resulted in the definition of geometric objects, called eigenvarieties, that parametrize systems of Hecke eigenvalues of p-adic automorphic forms. Conversely, the rich geometry of these varieties gives insights about p-adic (and thereby also about classical) automorphic forms. Recent techniques from perfectoid geometry, locally analytic representation theory and the point of view of the p-adic Langlands program give new insights and impulses. The spring school will give an introduction to both p-adic automorphic forms and eigenvarieties as well as the necessary background in p-adic analytic geometry. The courses will be complemented by research talks that will focus on recent developments in the area.

Eurandom – Workshop Centre in the area of Stochastics (Eindhoven University of Technology)

Causal inference is at the center of research. Perhaps because of its central position in so many sciences, multiple perspectives have arisen from which causal inference is studied. Two popular ones are the potential outcomes framework and the graphical approach. In this workshop, researchers from many domains (mathematics, (bio)statistics, economics, computer science, social science,...) will look for common ground in their approaches towards causal inference. The workshop is aimed at junior researchers working in causal inference, from any domain.

Graph Theory and Combinatorics,    Algebra

CIMPA Research School on Graph Structure and Complex Network Analysis will be held in Nesin Mathematics Village, Şirince, İzmir, Turkey on June 4-16, 2023. Since the works of Watts and Strogatz (1998) on one hand, and Barabási and Albert (1999) on the other, graph theory has become a major mathematical field that provides a framework to handle network properties theoretically and enables us with very powerful tools to model and solve problems on networks. Understanding their graph structure is a key point in deriving efficient algorithms in large networks. In this school, we will cover theoretical aspects of graph structure analysis as well as applications on complex network studies.

Computational proof assistants now make it possible to develop global, digital mathematical libraries with theorems that are fully checked by computer. This summer school will introduce students to the new technology and the ideas behind it, and will encourage them to think about the goals and benefits of formalized mathematics. Students will learn to use the Lean interactive proof assistant, and by the end of the session they will be in a position to formalize mathematics on their own, join the Lean community, and contribute to its mathematical library.

Algebra,    Automated Theorem Proving

Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences

The aim of the course is to learn how tools from algebraic geometry (in particular, from computational and real algebraic geometry) can be used to analyze standard models in molecular biology. Particularly, these models are key ingredients in the development of Systems and Synthetic biology, two active research areas focusing on understanding, modifying, and implementing the design principles of living systems. We will focus on the mathematical aspects of the methods, and exemplify and apply the theory to real networks, thereby introducing the participants to relevant problems and mechanisms in molecular biology. As a counterpart, however, the participants will also see how this field has in the past challenged current methods, mainly in the realm of real algebraic geometry, and has given rise to new general and purely theoretical results on polynomial equations. We will end our lectures with an overview of open questions in both fields.

Complex Networks,    Geometry and Topology

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

The overarching goal of this summer school is to expose the students both to modern forms of unsupervised learning — in the form of geometrical and topological data analysis — and to supervised learning — in the form of (deep) neural networks applied to regression/classification problems. The organizers have opted for a lighter exposure to a broader range of topics. Using the metaphor of a meal, we are offering 2 + 2 samplers — geometry and topology for data analysis + theoretical and practical deep learning — rather than 1 + 1 main dishes. The main goal, thus, is to inspire the students to learn more about one or several of the topics covered in the school.

This two week school will focus on spectral theory of periodic, almost-periodic, and random operators. The study of periodic problems is one of the most classical subjects of spectral theory. Many of the basic properties of periodic operators are now well understood due to the powerful method known as the Floquet-Bloch decomposition which performs a partial diagonalisation of the operator. Another type of problems mathematicians and physicists have been interested in is known under the broad name of ergodic problems; the most prominent among them being almost-periodic and random problems. These problems are much more complicated because no straightforward partial diagonalisation is known for them. The study of the spectral properties for ergodic problems developed to a large extent independently of the periodic theory, although occasionally periodic results were used in almost-periodic or even random settings. The interplay between almost-periodic and random problems has been more significant, but still, most of the methods have been specific to each of these two types. In the last few years however there emerged a number of methods which originated in one type of these problems but were successfully used to tackle problems from neighbouring areas (periodic methods used to deal with almost-periodic or random problems, etc). This suggests that these three lines of research have more in common than previously believed. The main aim of this school is to teach the students who work in one of these areas methods used in parallel problems, explain the similarities between all these areas and show them the ‘big picture’.

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

This graduate summer school will introduce students to two important and inter-related fields of differential geometry: geometric flows and minimal surfaces.

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

The school will provide the mathematical and theoretical computer science toolbox that forms the foundation of market and mechanism design - two of the burning research areas of the 21st century. Market and mechanism design are beautiful examples of how deep mathematical theory can lead to improved design of real-world marketplaces and auctions. We shall consider the algorithmic, complexity, economic and societal aspects of these topics.

Algebra,    Geometry and Topology

The school is built around two related courses on geometric (‘derived spaces’) and categorical (‘derived categories’) aspects of the theory. Our goal is to explain the key ideas and concepts, while trying to keep technicalities to a minimum.

Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI)

This summer school will introduce graduate students to sketching-based approaches to computational linear and multi-linear algebra. Sketching here refers to a set of techniques for compressing a matrix, to one with fewer rows, or columns, or entries, usually via various kinds of random linear maps. We will discuss matrix computations, tensor algebras, and such sketching techniques, together with their applications and analysis.

The aim of this summer school is to foster the development of a community of quantitative scientists who, while working on different application areas, share their knowledge and help address fundamental questions in the mathematics of movement. The goal is to identify common challenges and cross-fertilise concepts and techniques for modelling and analysing movement data in animal ecology and cell biology. With basic, as well as advanced, topics on the mathematics of movement the summer school welcomes early career researchers who that are new novice to the area but also those who that are already familiar with it. The first three days will be dedicated, respectively, to (i) Data Acquisition and Technology, (ii) Data Analysis, and (iii) Modelling, while the 4th and 5th days will be spent working in separate groups on specific dataset and modelling challenges. There will be sessions for early career presentations and poster sessions, as well as opportunities to hear about successful interdisciplinary collaborations and various activities to enable networking with the programme organisers and the many academic participants of the programme. There will also be a competition for the best poster.
