The conference is part of a two week Isaac Newton Institute (INI) programme that follows up on the 2018 INI semester programme "Homotopy Harnessing Higher Structures". People interested in this conference may also consider attending the workshop at the INI in Cambridge in the following week, 12-16 June 2023, "Homotopy: Fruit of the Fertile Furrow".

This workshop will aim to bring together experts in the theory of C*-algebras with mathematicians who have already been inspired by C*-algebras or who work in areas where there are natural connections with C*-algebras.

This workshop will bring together researchers with common interests in fractals and related areas such as ergodic theory, geometric measure theory, and analysis. The aim of the workshop is to stimulate collaboration and research activity between the various groups in the UK, encourage and support the work of early career researchers in this area, and provide a platform for dissemination of work in fractal geometry.

The main objective of this workshop is to bring together a range of researchers in geometry and topology, whose research interests are closely aligned to topics where geometric flows either already or are expected to play a key role, with experts in the analysis of geometric flows.

Victor P. Snaith (1944 – 2021) was distinguished not just as an outstanding mathematician who made deep and lasting contributions in algebraic topology and number theory but also as a charismatic leader who enthusiastically developed research communities and generously supported young researchers.

The conference will bring together homotopy theory, cohomology of groups, algebraic K-theory and number theory, the main areas in which Vic worked. The aim is to feature important developments, paying special attention to synergies between these areas, as Vic did in much of his versatile research.

Some of the most exciting developments in geometric representation theory revolve around the relatively new theory of W-algebras. Broadly speaking these are obtained via the process of quantum Hamiltonian reduction from the some of the most influential structures in modern representation theory: enveloping algebras and universal affine vertex algebras. The applications of W-algebras are seemingly endless, but we list some key examples: the ordinary and modular representation theory of Lie algebras, the classification of integrable systems (especially generalisations of the KP hierarchy), a deeper understanding of smooth representations of affine Lie algebras, conformal field theories (and their associated AdS duals), modular tensor categories and the famous geometric Langlands program, once described by Edward Frenkel as “the grand unifying theory of mathematics”. The aim of this workshop is to bring the world's leading experts together to investigate recent developments in the theory of W-algebras and their representation theory, as well as interactions with other topics in geometric representation theory.

Topology is likely to be featured prominently in any truly useful quantum computation scheme. The hurdle of scalable fault-tolerance is insurmountable with the current incremental progress -- while it is possible to engineer systems supporting hundreds of physical qubits, applications beyond academic interest require millions of qubits to implement robust error correction. Topological quantum computation (TQC) relies upon the preparation of topological phases of matter supporting non-abelian anyons to perform inherently fault-tolerant operations. As errors are corrected at the hardware level through the topological nature of anyons, the problem of scalability is simultaneously overcome. On the other hand, despite years of effort we still don't have unassailable confirmation that non-abelian anyons exist. This workshop will bring together researchers in a diversity of fields in and around TQC for the purpose of broadening and deepening the subject, with an eye towards accelerating the realization of scalable technology.

The programme will start with an introductory school on equivariant methods in algebraic and differential geometry for graduate students, postdocs and those who are interested in learning background material for the programme.

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)

This workshop focuses on the following themes and their interactions: 1. Geometric and equivariant aspects of algebraic statistics 2. Computation of invariants in algebraic (especially toric) geometry 3. Algebraic group actions on combinatorial spaces

Algèbre,    Théorie des graphes et combinatoire

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)

The workshop focuses on recent equivariant techniques in enumerative geometry of holomorphic maps between complex manifolds. It will bring together researchers working on global singularity theory (multisingularity classes of holomorphic maps, Thom polynomials, multiple-point formulas), and on complex manifolds with positivity properties (hyperbolicity, ample cotangent bundle, jet differentials). The mini-courses aim to explain the central role of the Hilbert scheme of points on complex manifolds in these problems.

The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers in complex algebraic and differential geometry, working on notions of stability for algebraic varieties such as K-stability (and in particular the construction of moduli spaces of algebraic varieties), the existence of canonical metrics in Kähler geometry and the many nearby topics that interact with these areas. The relationship between K-stability and the existence of canonical Kähler metrics goes by the name of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, and is motivated by a more classical correspondence between stability in the sense of geometric invariant theory and properties of moment maps as used in symplectic geometry—two of the overarching themes of the wider programme. This conference will emphasise the deep links between Kähler geometry, stability conditions and various related problems in equivariant algebraic and differential geometry.

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI)

The workshop focuses on the role of equivariant techniques in enumerative geometry and moduli stacks. It will bring together researchers working on the relationship between concepts of stability and wall-crossing in different settings such as moduli stacks, geometric invariant theory, Bridgeland stability and K-stability, as well as enumerative geometers studying the geometry and topology of Hilbert schemes of points on surfaces and higher dimensional manifolds and related invariants.
