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.

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.
