The next installment of URiCA, Upcoming Researchers in Commutative Algebra (previously KUMUNU Jr), will take place on May 3rd and 4th at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The goal of this conference is to showcase research done by graduate students and postdocs and promote interaction among junior researchers in commutative algebra. There will be seven 50-minute invited talks as well as a poster session and a call for collaboration/open problem session. Please use the links below to register and note the registration deadline for funding is March 23rd.

List of invited speakers:

Bek Chase (Purdue University)

GTA Philadelphia 2025 is the 10th annual Graduate Student Conference in Algebra, Geometry, and Topology (GSCAGT), to be held on-campus at Temple University in Philadelphia from Friday, May 30 to Sunday, June 1, 2025. This conference aims to expose graduate students in algebra, geometry, and topology to current research, and provide them with an opportunity to present and discuss their own research. It also intends to provide a forum for graduate students to engage with each other as well as expert faculty members in their areas of research. Most of the talks at the conference will be given by graduate students, with four given by distinguished keynote speakers. This event is sponsored by the Temple University Graduate School, Temple University Department of Mathematics, and the NSF.

Keynote Speakers

• Samit Dasgupta, Duke University
• Marissa Loving, University of Wisconsin
• André Arroja Neves, University of Chicago
• Tian Yang, Texas A&M University

The goal of this conference is to bring together experts from algebraic and arithmetic geometry on the one hand and étale and stratified homotopy theory on the other. There will be a mini-course on each side to get people up to speed, as well as research talks covering recent developments on étale cohomology, étale homotopy, and related topics.

We are pleased to announce the workshop "Geometry over Semirings 2025" on July 7-11 at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

In this workshop, experts and young researchers will come together to share recent progress and collaborate on open questions related to tropical geometry, geometry over the field of one element, blueprints, and related questions.

There will be talks by

• Ana Maria Botero
• Geffrey Giansiracusa
• Oliver Lorscheid
• Martin Ulirsch
• Xavier Xarles

and young participants.

You can get more information and register for the workshop here: https://mat.uab.cat/~masdeu/geometry-over-semirings/. There is a limited amount of funding for accommodation for early career participants; you can request funding when registering.

The organizers: Joaquim Roé, Marc Masdeu

QTMART is a workshop on algebra and representation theory taken in a broad sense, run by and for queer and trans mathematicians. It aims to showcase the research done in this field by this community and bring together senior researchers, junior researchers, and graduate students to discuss topics of common interest in a non-competitive environment.

Alongside the workshop, an exploratory program on queer mathematics and inclusion will take place. The activities of the program will focus on exploring what it means to do mathematics as a queer or trans mathematician, and if there is such a thing as queer mathematics. It will also address the question of how to make the working culture and environment more welcoming and diverse, and will aim to initiate concrete actions in this regard.

This workshop welcomes talks by early-career researchers. Please indicate on the application form if you would like to give a talk and on what topic.

The event is open to everyone accepting the community agreement (which will be based upon Oberwolfach's Statement of Respect and Collegiality https://www.mfo.de/about-the-institute/guiding-principles/equality-diversity-inclusion/statement-for-respect-and-collegiality, taking suggestions from the participants into account). However, priority in assigning talks will be given to self-identifying queer and trans mathematicians, and some activities in the program will be reserved for this group.

Plenary Speakers:

• Chris Bowman (University of York)
• Ian Musson (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
• J. Daisie Rock (FWO, KU Leuven, UGent)
• Beth Romano (King's College London)
• Dani Tubbenhauer (University of Sydney)

The conference will reflect current developments in motivic homotopy theory and its applications in arithmetic geometry and geometric representation theory. It aims to bring together experts from these fields to facilitate the exchange of ideas in a collaborative and engaging environment.

We are hosting two events, each one a week long:

• A summer school on Galois Representations, Relative Langlands Duality, Beyond Endoscopy, and Relative Trace Formulae. 4-9 August 2025.
• A number theory conference. 11-15 August 2025.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM, the NSF, the Topos Institute, and the US NSF Center for Analysis and Prediction of Pandemic Expansion, will consider how category-theoretic foundations for modeling as decision support for multidisciplinary collaboration might advance insights into pandemic science. Multidisciplinary modeling is extremely useful and also extremely difficult (for many reasons). By taking the very concept of "building a model" as itself a sort of model, and phrasing this in the formal mathematical language of (double) category theory, we can develop systems that greatly improve our capabilities for collaborative modeling.

The workshop will bring together a wide range of research communities: category theory, software engineering, dynamical systems, data science, epidemiology, infectious disease modeling, medical geography, behavioral psychology, social and urban networks, and economics.

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.
