This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to interactions between homological stability and asymptotic questions in number theory over function fields. In recent years, homological stability of suitable Hurwitz spaces has been used to make great progress on function field cases of Cohen-Lenstra heuristics (Ellenberg-Venkatesh-Westerland), Malle's conjecture (Ellenberg-Tran-Westerland), the Conrey-Farmer-Keating-Rubinstein-Snaith predictions (Bergström-Diaconu-Petersen-Westerland, Miller-Patzt-Petersen-Randal-Williams), and heuristics on Selmer ranks (Ellenberg-Landesman). The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers both from analytic number theory and topology, and to further explore the connections between the two fields.

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.

The 2025 SMS will allow graduate students to learn about a number of recent trends and advances in the field of commutative algebra. The aim of the SMS is to provide an “on-ramp” for graduate students interested in algebra, combinatorics, and/or algebraic combinatorics to learn more about commutative algebra’s interaction with these fields. The introductory courses will introduce fundamental skills in commutative algebra, the more intermediate courses will expose students to cutting-edge research in the field. The school will focus on four topics within commutative algebra: Combinatorial Methods, Homological Methods, Computational Methods, and Characteristic p Methods. The SMS will provide both a series of introductory lectures and intermediate/advanced lectures from leaders in one of the four areas. The lectures will include a series of problem sessions that will allow participants to develop and hone their skills in these areas, which will be especially helpful for new people to the field. Participants will be encouraged to work collaboratively, both to enhance their own mathematical networks as well as to promote future collaborations beyond the school.

The workshop will focus on geometric and homological aspects of categorification and symplectic duality in the context of representation theory. The conference will concentrate on various representation theoretic aspects of the Langlands program.

The conference will explore the Yang-Baxter equation (YBE), a central topic in pure mathematics with connections to particle physics, statistical mechanics, and various mathematical fields like algebra, knot theory, tensor categories, and Hopf–Galois theory. Introduced in the 1960s by Yang and Baxter, the YBE has evolved into a rich and profound area of study. Drinfel'd's combinatorial version of the YBE, proposed in 1992, unveiled deep connections to numerous mathematical structures, including skew polynomial algebras, Bieberbach and Garside groups, and self-distributive structures such as racks and quandles. New algebraic concepts such as cycle sets, braces, and trusses were developed to address YBE-related problems and have found applications in other areas of mathematics.

The central theme of this conference is the representation theory of associative algebras and the wide range of powerful methods that have emerged from its development. We aim to bring together an international group of representation theorists, working with categorical, combinatorial, geometric and homological methods, with a view to exchanging ideas and perspectives. The conference is an integral part of the project "Structures for Quivers, Algebras and Representations" (SQUARE), which arises from the collaboration of researchers at the Universites of Padova, Roma-Sapienza, Torino and Verona and is funded by the program PRIN2022 of MUR - Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca.

International Linear Algebra Society (ILAS)

Linear algebra, a fundamental subject in mathematics, boasts a multitude of applications across various domains. The theory of positive definite matrices, for instance, plays a pivotal role in operator theory and quantum information. Matrix decompositions offer essential tools for image processing, noise reduction, and data science. Combinatorial matrix theory has deepened connections between graph theory, enumeration, and matrix theory. More than these, linear algebra finds its presence in numerous disciplines and remains an active area of research.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of activity surrounding algebraic points on curves, from many different perspectives. These include the study of measures of irrationality, isolated and parametrized points, computational methods to determine algebraic points, and the arithmetic statistics of algebraic points. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers from these diverse perspectives, with the particular goal of developing bridges between them. The workshop will include overview talks on the various perspectives, research talks, an open problem session, and structured time for collaboration.

This summer school will offer a hands-on introduction to discriminants, with a view towards modern applications. Starting from the basics of computational algebraic geometry and toric geometry, the school will gently introduce participants to the foundations of discriminants. A particular emphasis will be put on computing discriminants of polynomial systems using computer algebra software. Then, we will dive into three applications of discriminants: algebraic statistics, geometric modeling, and particle physics. Here, discriminants contribute to the study of maximum likelihood estimation, to finding practical parametrizations of geometric objects, and to computations of scattering amplitudes. We will explain recently discovered unexpected connections between these three applications. In addition to lectures, the summer school will have daily collaborative exercise sessions which will be guided by the teaching assistants and will include software demonstrations.

Join us for the 2025 Conference on Theoretical and Computational Algebra, from 29 June to 3 July, at the University of Évora, Portugal — a historic city in the heart of the beautiful Alentejo region. This year, we celebrate Peter Cameron’s remarkable contributions to groups, semigroups, combinatorics, statistics — and beyond!

An L-function is a function defined additively by a Dirichlet series with a multiplicative Euler product. The initial work of Dirichlet was generalized to number fields by Hecke and given an adelic interpretation by Tate which paved the way to move from GL(1) to higher degree L functions associated to automorphic forms of GL(n) for a general n . Automorphic L functions are essentially analytic objects and allow translations between arithmetic and analysis. We recall the legendary correspondence in the case of the Riemann-ζ function, the prototype of higher L -functions both analytic and arithmetic-algebraic, between an arithmetic statement on the distribution of primes and an analytic one on the distribution of its zeros. Now there are many more parameters to explore. For example, bounding twisted automorphic forms in terms of conductors help obtain the asymptotics of representations of totally positive integers by ternary quadratic forms. The aim of this school is to prepare the participants to appreciate the contemporary theory of automorphic representations, their L -functions and their surprising links with diverse fields like Fourier analysis, algebraic geometry and theoretical physics.

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.

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.

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.

For many (affine) algebraic varieties appearing in geometric representation theory and algebraic combinatorics, their coordinate algebra admits the structure of a cluster algebra. These algebraic varieties include (in order of increasing generality) the basic affine space, (double) Bruhat cells, positroid varieties, Richardson varieties, and braid varieties. Roughly speaking, this means that the corresponding algebraic variety comes with a collection of coordinate toric charts, with explicit coordinates and transformation rules between the charts that can be codified via quiver combinatorics. Conversely, the quiver and the coordinates can be read from combinatorial and geometric properties of the variety itself, though this is more of an art than a science. The goal of this workshop will be to understand the combinatorics and geometry underlying these cluster structures in the case of braid varieties, which include all of the cases described above and was established quite recently. The combinatorics can be encoded in two very different objects: weaves and 3D plabic graphs. Both appear in a variety of mathematical settings, including Soergel calculus and connections to high-energy physics. These rich combinatorial objects and their ties to other areas of mathematics inspire many questions about braid varieties, their cluster structures, and beyond.

Since its origins in the work of Sophus Lie (now more than a century ago), Lie theory has seen tremendous developments and is now fundamental in many areas of mathematics (like group theory, geometry, symmetric spaces etc) and physics (quantum mechanics, particle physics, theory of gravity). Nowadays there are specialized computer packages such as LiE, the Atlas project, the package Chevie for GAP3, the program ChevLie. Also the more general purpose computer algebra systems GAP4, MAGMA and SageMath have large libraries for dealing with various objects that are central to Lie theory.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to further developing the method of flag algebras and its applications. Flag algebras, developed by Razborov in 2007, allows one to solve problems in combinatorics via streamlined calculations that combine elements from computer engineering and optimization. It led to many recent breakthroughs on long-standing open problems of Erdős, Sós, Turán, Gromov and Zarankiewicz, to name a few. The technique is versatile and can be applied in other settings than graphs and hypergraphs including permutations, oriented graphs, point sets, embedded graphs, and phylogenetic trees.

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.

Webs are diagrammatic tools for representing complex calculations graphically. These diagrams first arose from the representation theory of classical groups, and they have since become important in disparate areas of mathematics. In representation theory, they encode morphisms of quantum groups. In topology, webs give rise to powerful link invariants. In algebra and geometry, Kuperberg's \(mathrm{sl}(3)\) web bases have important relationships with the theory of cluster algebras and affine buildings. In combinatorics, they explain certain dynamics on Young tableaux. Recent work by Gaetz--Pechenik--Pfannerer--Striker--Swanson introduced an \(\mathrm{sl}(4)\) web basis that has exploited and extended exciting connections between webs, plabic graphs, and crystals. There are further connections to total positivity, duality conjectures for cluster algebras and mirror symmetry.
