The focus of the workshop is the interactions of 3-manifold topology and geometry, and the study of 3-manifold groups and character and representation varieties with computational topology and theoretical computer science. 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.

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.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to non-Archimedean methods in complex geometry.

On the occasion of 40+ years after the seminar paper of Gross--Zagier, we bring together experts to deliver lectures on a broad range of topics connected with the Gross-Zagier formula, its generalizations, related future directions, and other works that it has inspired.

The program will unite researchers from a number of areas: algebraic and complex geometry, arithmetic geometry, Hodge theory, and mathematical physics. It will bring theoretically and computationally oriented researchers together, expecting that computations will illuminate conjectures made by the theorists and that theory will enlarge the range of what can be computed. We intend to develop databases of certain types of K3 surfaces for the L-Functions and Modular Forms Database and promote the development of software for computations on K3 surfaces in Magma, SageMath, or other systems for public release.
