The International Conference of Young Algebraists in Thailand (ICYAT) is a series of conferences for mathematicians and researchers in the field of algebra and related topics.  The conference was started by Tiang Poomsa-ard and his group in 1996 at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, to provide a platform for young algebraists, researchers, and college students across Thailand to come together, share their research findings, and exchange ideas with others. Additionally, this conference allows participants to network with their peers, stay current on relevant topics, and have in-depth conversations with international researchers.

The interaction between topology and curvature is a fundamental theme in modern mathematics. The study of scalar curvature plays an increasingly important role not only in geometry and topology, but also in general relativity and theoretical physics more generally through the theory of Dirac operators. This special session will bring together experts and young researchers who study these topics from many different points of view. The aim of this session is to share viewpoints and progress on understanding the scalar curvature and topology of manifolds, and to establish new connections among the culturally diverse groups spread worldwide, but particularly in the USA.

Date: April 15, 2026 (Wednesday) at 4PM (UK time)

Speaker: Prof. Harald Andrés Helfgott, Paris City University, France

Topic: Growth, expansion and escape in groups

Prof. Harald Helfgott is a leading mathematician who made fundamental contribution to number theory, group theory, and additive combinatorics. He is widely known for his proof of the ternary Goldbach conjecture, as well as for foundational contributions to the study of growth and expansion phenomena in groups. In this talk, he will discuss growth and expansion in groups, including progress toward the celebrated Babai conjecture on the diameters of finite simple groups. See the blog announcement of this talk for more details.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will bring together experts from different areas in mathematics related to applications of the Bochner technique, including Riemannian geometry, complex geometry, representation theory, and geometric flows.

The Bochner technique is a foundational tool in differential geometry which provides a deep link to topology. Recent advances include new connections to representation theory with applications to vanishing results for Betti and Hodge numbers, the resolutions of the Nishikawa conjecture, projectivity and rational connectedness results for Kähler manifold, or new Kodaira-Bochner formulae. The aim of the workshop is to both push the boundaries of these areas as well as strengthen the interaction among experts in different areas. Utilizing the versatility of the Bochner technique is a key component of the workshop. The workshop is meant to bring together leading experts as well as aspiring new researchers from all areas related to the Bochner technique.

The main topics for this workshop are

(1) Vanishing results and applications to topology and geometric flows

(2) Representation theoretic aspects and symmetric spaces

(3) The curvature operator of the second kind

(4) Nonlinear Kodaira-Bochner formulae and their applications

The goal of this workshop is to discuss the papers Étale metaplectic covers of reductive group schemes'' by Yifei Zhao andWhat are the extended pure inner forms of a cover?''by Zhao and Luozi Shi. We will focus on how they fit into other recent research related to covers of reductive groups and their role in the Langlands program.

The conference honours the work of John F. (Rick) Jardine, a professor at the University of Western Ontario. Over his more than 40 year career, Rick has made foundational contributions to homotopy theory, K-theory, and topological data analysis, in particular shaping the current landscape of homotopical algebra.

Homotopy limits and colimits are a fundamental tool in homotopy theory, with applications to topology, geometry, and algebra. The event is aimed at graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers who want to learn more about this topic.

See the website for more details.

The Annual International Conference of the Georgian Mathematical Union was established in 2010 and has been held traditionally at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University. Batumi is the city of Georgia and the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. It is located along the coast of the Black Sea in the southwest region of Georgia. In accordance with recent developments, the conference has been conducted in a hybrid format since 2021. The purpose of the conference is to bring together mathematicians from various fields to present their original research results and provide opportunities to establish new connections within the fields of pure and applied mathematics, as well as science, engineering, and technology. The conference also provides valuable networking opportunities for you to meet great personnel in these fields.

The conference sections: Algebra and Number Theory; Differential and Integral Equations, and Their Applications; Geometry and Topology; Logic, Language, Artificial Intelligence; Mathematical Education and History of Mathematics; Mathematical Logic and Discrete Mathematics; Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Analysis; Theoretical Physics; Probability Theory and Statistics, Financial Mathematics; Real and Complex Analysis.

The aim of the summer school is to bring together early career researchers working in motives (in a broad sense) and neighbouring areas (including but not limited to algebraic geometry and number theory), who want to learn more about the subject and its applications.

The event will consist of four mini-courses. There will be an introductory course:

• Introduction to motives (Alexander Vishik);

and three topic-focused courses on the following themes:

• Motives in algebraic geometry and moduli theory (Victoria Hoskins);
• Applications of motives to number theory and periods (Francis Brown);
• Introduction to (motivic) tensor-triangular geometry (Martin Gallauer).

We will also feature a handful of contributed research talks from participants.

We kindly thank our sponsors for supporting this event:

• Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research;
• UKRI/EPSRC Additional Funding Programme for Mathematical Sciences;
• Foundation Compositio Mathematica;
• K-Theory Foundation.

Please share this opportunity with potentially interested students and postdocs.

This workshop aims to bring together experts in the field to share their recent results on cutting-edge topics. Key topics include homological stability for Hurwitz spaces and the stacky perspective on counting problems. The workshop will also cover motivic approaches to counting and the new challenges of generalizing classical results to the wild case. We encourage participants to discuss ways to unify these ideas for further development.

Keywords: Hurwitz spaces (Homological stability), Malle's conjecture (for function fields), Rational points of stacks, Brauer-Manin obstruction (for stacks), Wild Galois extensions of function fields and power series fields (counting results, moduli spaces), Motivic counting of Galois extensions.

This event is part of the special year "Arithmetic, Homotopy, and Geometry 2027-28".
