WINGs 2024 is the fourth instalment of an annual retreat for women, and other underrepresented genders, in number theory and geometry. It is aimed at early career mathematicians, from PhD onwards. Events will include talks from our eight keynote speakers, a career panel which will also feature participants from industry, social activities, to encourage interaction between participants, and short talks, so that participants can learn about each other’s research interests. Our aim is to counteract the isolation which can be experienced by women and other underrepresented genders in mathematics during their career by fostering a sense of community from the start.

This semester-long program in geometric analysis will focus mostly on complex geometry and Kähler geometry, but with the occasional excursion into real geometry. While the inspiration has deep geometrical roots, the tools are to a large degree those of partial differential equations. A lot of the activity will centre on six workshops:

PDEs in Complex Geometry (April 15-19, 2024)

Special Riemannian Metrics in Dimensions 6,7,8 (April 22-26, 2024)

Analysis of Geometric Singularities (May 13-17, 2024)

Moduli Spaces and Singularities (May 20-24, 2024)

Current Trends in Kähler Metrics with Special Curvature Properties (June 17-21, 2024)

Current Trends in Geometric Flows (June 25-29, 2024)

There will be a significant portion of the term and its resources devoted to training. Apart from resources set aside for students to attend the workshops, the semester will coordinate with the Séminaire de Mathématiques Supérieures (SMS). This school, a Montreal tradition, has been providing high-level training for graduate students since 1960, with some of the very top leaders in the field as lecturers.

We think that the 2024 SMS will be no exception. The topic is:

Flows and Variational Methods in Riemannian and Complex Geometry: Classical and Modern Methods (June 3-14, 2024).

The aim of the present conference is to gather mathematicians working in Algebra, Geometry, Topology, and Mathematical Physics. It will cover new foundational works on higher algebra together with its applications.

This conference is the closing event the project ANR « Higher Algebra, Geometry, and Topology », which structures the French community working on these topics.

This summer school series aims at training their participants in key strategic problems in mathematics and their applications, with the core idea that theory and applications strengthen each other. The school is focused in training of young researchers whilst opening new fields for senior ones.

The Hypatia Graduate Summer School will consist in two keynote courses on subjects of exceptional promise and scientific importance delivered by highly distinguished speakers in the area plus a high-level colloquium on a complementary subject.

The Hypatia Graduate Summer School will be developed in an informal atmosphere based on discussions, exchange of ideas and critical analysis of results. Moreover, to honour its namesake, it is committed to work under a friendly gender perspective that highlights the role of women in mathematics and encourages and helps the participation and promotion of young female researchers at a professional level.

The conferences will feature a variety of events focusing on recent developments in algebraic topology and their applications to geometry, physics, and data science.

The scientific root of this workshop goes back to the seminal works of E. Calabi in the 1950s, who proposed to find a canonical Kähler metric, called extremal, representing a cohomology class of a compact Kähler manifold. Calabi showed that in this setting, the search for extremal Kähler metrics can be reduced to solving a non-linear PDE. A particular example of extremal Kähler metrics are the celebrated Kähler-Einstein metrics whose existence theory is now settled, starting with the resolution of Calabi’s famous conjecture by Aubin and Yau in the 1970s (the non-obstructed case), and culminating in recent times with the resolution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson (YTD) conjecture in the obstructed Fano case. These efforts motivated a general YTD correspondence, which predicts that the existence of special Kähler metrics should be expressed in terms of a suitable complex-analytic/algebraic notion of stability of the underlying complex/projective variety.

Many partial results on such general YTD correspondences have been obtained recently in various special cases. For instance, the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric on a smooth toric variety is now settled whereas the log Fano case has been tackled recently, notably via weighted versions of Kähler-Ricci solitons. Another challenging direction of active current research consists of finding computable or even algorithmic criteria for algebraic stability (or for the existence of special Kähler metrics) on a given manifold, for example as in the recent works in the case of spherical varieties. Finally, the existence of special Kähler metrics or, equivalently, the corresponding stability notions, are expected to give the right tool for defining a good moduli space of polarized varieties.

The Ninth Pacific Rim Conference on Mathematics (PRCM) will be held from Mon, Jun 17 2024 to Fri, Jun 21 2024 at the Darwin Convention Centre, in Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia), hosted by the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI), Australian National University (ANU). The PRCM is a broad mathematical event held every few years that covers a wide range of exciting research in contemporary mathematics. Its objectives are to offer a venue for the presentation to and discussion among a wide audience of the latest trends in mathematical research, and to strengthen ties between mathematicians working in the Pacific Rim region. The conference will provide mathematicians with opportunities to engage with international research leaders, established colleagues, and junior researchers.

The conference welcomes experts and students in the subject of nonlinear mathematical physics, where the focus is on the development and use of mathematical theories to analyse and solve nonlinear problems thaat arise in nature and in technologies. Participants can present their recults orally or in the form of a poster. The main subjects include nonlinear continuous and discrete integrable equations, non-commutative geometry, symmetry analysis, wave propagations, and the classification of equations. One evening of talks is reserved for the non-expert audience where the general public is invited to listen to presentations which will be of a non-technical and more philosophical nature. This open-door session is titled "An Evening of Science and Philosophy" and participation is free for everyone.

Transfer systems are a new combinatorial object that exhibit surprising connections between abstract homotopy theory, equivariant topology, and combinatorics. About ten years ago, Blumberg and Hill defined the related "indexing systems'' as the central algebraic object controlling twisted multiplications that naturally arise in the study of equivariant cohomology theories. Rubin and Balchin--Barnes--Roitzheim independently recast this notion in a much simpler framework, characterizing indexing systems in terms of transfer systems, as a particular kind of weak subposet of the lattice of subgroups of a finite group G , ordered by inclusion. Work of Ormsby--Osorno and teams of collaborators has shown how the natural generalization of this notion to an arbitrary poset has fascinating combinatorial properties, and Balchin--MacBrough--Ormsby have further connected this to abstract homotopy theories on posets. Each of these connections provides exciting results which can be transferred and reinterpreted in the other fields, yielding unexpected new structure and theorems.

This MRC will introduce participants to this burgeoning new area, bringing together researchers with interests in combinatorics, algebraic topology, and abstract homotopy theory. The field is rife with open problems, including basic questions about the structure of transfer systems, combinatorics problems associated to counting transfer systems for natural families of posets, identifying connections with other combinatorial structures, and applying the language of model categories to recast and reform these questions.

One of the exciting features of the program is that there are few prerequisites. Familiarity with abstract homotopy theory or with modern methods of algebraic topology will allow deeper engagement with some of the potential problems, but is not required, and much of the subject can be approached purely combinatorially. Before the workshop, relevant readings will be provided to help provide background, and an online collaboration platform will be used to start discussing material and to begin building community. At the workshop, participants can expect to work in teams on research programs, to engage with lectures from senior faculty participants about aspects of homotopical combinatorics, and to have open feedback sessions for further discussion.

The primary focus of the workshop is supporting early-career researchers, including advanced graduate students, postdocs, and pre-tenure faculty. As such, there will also be professional development sessions, the topics of which will be driven by participant interest and need. We especially encourage members of traditionally excluded groups to apply.

Applications will be accepted on MathPrograms.org through Thursday, February 15, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EST).

A celebration of the mathematics of Eric Friedlander on the occasion of his 80th birthday

The 9th installment of AGACSE (Applied Geometric Algebras in Computer Science and Engineering) will take place August 26-29 in Amsterdam.

The field of Geometric/Clifford Algebras has seen a recent surge in applied interest, as witnessed on https://bivector.net, its accompanying discord server, and other forums. The unifying nature of the GA framework is prompting company-wide software approaches to geometrical, mechanical and EM solutions. The novel PGA (the GA of 3D Euclidean geometry) has simplified the classical data structures from computer graphics to classical mechanics simulators. And the very recent applications within Geometrically Equivariant Networks have immediately produced successes that draw in new researchers and practitioners, with new software platforms and tutorials appearing monthly.

The AGACSE conference aims to showcase successful examples of such applications from industry, and discuss the new developments now brewing in research labs. We expect a fruitful interaction between practice and theory, in which novel insights inform implementations, and new target domains raise interesting new structural questions.

You may find the conference website here: https://staff.science.uva.nl/l.dorst/AGACSE2024/index.html.

The first important deadline is the submission of a 4-6 page abstract by February 29, 2024.

We hope to see you in Amsterdam in August 2024!
