Harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces is a fundamental area of research that simultaneously generalizes classical harmonic analysis on groups and on Riemannian symmetric spaces. It naturally relates to many areas of mathematics, playing a central role in representation theory and the theory of automorphic forms.

This workshop will be an occasion to introduce recent developments in some of these areas. It will also aim to explore new connections between them and extend the fruitful interactions between C*-algebras, harmonic analysis and representation theory beyond the classical setting of groups to the general setting of homogeneous spaces.

Topics will include:

• C*-algebraic approaches to the tempered dual of non-Riemannian symmetric spaces;
• Harmonic analysis and Plancherel theory for spherical spaces;
• Connections with the Langlands program and periods of automorphic forms;
• Recent approaches to the theta correspondence via C*-algebras

2025 Talbot Workshop: Homological Stability Mentored by: Alexander Kupers and Nathalie Wahl Dates: May 26 - June 1, 2025 Location: TBA, but somewhere in the US

Application link: https://forms.gle/KaStAZurFQ5LDB1z5 Application deadline: Feb 2, 2025 More details can be found on the website: https://sites.google.com/view/talbotworkshop/home

What: The Talbot Workshop is a one week learning workshop for roughly 35 graduate students and a few postdocs. Most of the talks will be given by participants, and will be expository in nature.

Topic description: Many groups and spaces come in families depending on a parameter: configuration spaces depend on the number of points considered, mapping class groups of surfaces on the genus of the surface. For such families, it often happens that the homology stabilizes as this parameter goes to infinity. Moreover, computing the stable homology frequently turns out to be easier because other tools can be used. In recent years, combining homological stability results with stable computations has become a powerful tool in algebraic topology and robust machinery for proving homological stability theorems has been developed. In this workshop we aim to introduce the participants to this circle of ideas.

Outline: This workshop will explain how to prove homological stability results through examples, such as symmetric groups, configuration spaces, mapping class groups, and others, and how to use them in conjunction with stable computations. The homological stability machines that we will cover are Quillen’s classical inductive approach and a more recent approach using Ek-algebras. Both machines have as input connectivity results for simplicial complexes and we will also see how such results are proved.

Background: The workshop will be aimed towards graduate students with a basic understanding of algebraic topology, including spectral sequences and classifying spaces.

Talbot is meant to encourage collaboration among young researchers, with an emphasis on graduate students. We also aim to gather participants with a diverse array of knowledge and interests, so applicants need not be an expert in the field -- in particular, students at all levels of graduate education are encouraged to apply. As we are committed to promoting diversity in mathematics, we especially encourage women, minorities, and underrepresented groups in mathematics to apply.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email the organizers at talbotworkshop (at) gmail (dot) com.

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

This conference has been organized around the general trend of application of geometrical ideas in mechanics, physics and biology. The emphasis is on concrete applications and modern developments in the respective fields. An overall idea is to provide a forum for an exchange of information, ideas and inspiration and further development of the international collaboration.

This conference is addressed to mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in contemporary mechanics, physics and biology and associated mathematical questions. The application of differential geometry to find new results on manifolds, relativity, hypersurfaces, N-body problem, gauge fields, geometric quantization, rotational sequences, minimal surfaces, biophysical systems, coherent states, Dirac and Seiberg-Witten monopoles, rigid body dynamics, Toda chains dynamics, geometric algebra, Kähler calculus, thermodynamics, etc. The meeting allows participants coming from different fields to share and to interchange geometrical ideas among them with the leading role of differential geometry. The contributions presented at the conference will be invited to be submitted to the series on Geometry, Integrability and Quantization or to the Journal of Geometry and Symmetry in Physics.

Conference Quasiweekend III - Twenty years on collects together experts, from all fields of mathematics, using quasiconformal methods, especially in complex dynamics, geometric function theory, geometric group theory, analysis on metric spaces. Previous conferences in this series, Quasiweekend and Quasiweekend II – Ten years after, took place in 2005 and 2015, respectively, in Helsinki. With Quasiweekend III we celebrate mathematical legacy of Juha Heinonen -- initiator of this conference series -- in the broad field of quasiconformal analysis.

Chromatic homotopy theory decomposes stable homotopy theory into an infinite sequence of periodic strata, each of which has the potential to be completely computable. These ideas were made precise by the Ravenel Conjectures, which were famously solved by various combinations of Devinatz, Hopkins, Smith, and Ravenel in the decade which followed, except for one: the Telescope Conjecture. This conjecture eluded resolution until 2023, when it was shown to be false by Burklund-Hahn-Levy-Schlank. The disproof involved the discovery of a new and unexpected interface between algebraic K-theory and chromatic homotopy theory which augmented an existing and growing understanding of relationship between these two subjects as witnessed by the Quillen-Lichtenbaum Conjecture, Thomason's Descent Theorem, and the Rognes Redshift Conjecture.

The aim of this workshop is to address the question "what next?". We aim to explore this question narrowly (what does the failure of the telescope conjecture say about v_n-periodic homotopy groups?) and broadly (what are the next horizons for homotopy theory/algebraic topology/K-theory now that this major problem has been solved?). The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in chromatic homotopy theory, algebraic K-theory, and a variety of other neighboring areas to address these questions.

Travel support is available for US based participants thanks to the National Science Foundation.

Application details Deadline for applications: 30 Mar 2025

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.

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.

During this one week summer school, Eleonora di Nezza (Paris, Sorbonne) and Siarhei Finski (Paris, CNRS) will give introductory talks on Kahler geometry to a group of non-experts, primarily composed of students and postdocs. Registration to open soon. The event is part of a special semester on complex geometry at the Renyi Insitute.

Eleonora Di Nezza: Pluripotential theory and L∞ estimates for complex Monge-Ampère equations

Abstract: In these lectures, we introduce and explore fundamental concepts in pluripotential theory, which are essential for studying (degenerate) complex Monge-Ampère equations on Kähler manifolds. We then shift our focus to a novel approach for obtaining L∞ a priori estimates for these equations. This method, which has a "local" character and relies solely on the use of envelopes, was recently developed by Guedj and Lu.

Siarhei Finski: Asymptotic study of submultiplicative filtrations

Abstract: It has long been recognized that the study of manifold degenerations plays a crucial role in addressing many questions in geometry, including the search for canonical metrics. Some degenerations can be understood on the algebraic level through the so-called submultiplicative filtrations, which are certain filtrations on rings respecting the algebraic structure. The most basic example is the filtration on the space of homogeneous polynomials given by the order of vanishing along a subvariety in the projective space.

This course is about the geometric quantization approach to these filtrations, which effectively establishes several results at the crossroads of algebraic and differential geometry. We discuss some applications towards the search of canonical metrics and cover the necessary preliminaries including the Ohsawa-Takegoshi extension theorem, Bergman kernels, and the theory of graded normed algebras.

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.

During this one week summer school, Hans-Joachim Hein (Munster) and Daniele Angella (Firenze) will give series of talks on recent advances on Singular Kahler metrics, and Hermitian geometry respectively. We expect that the audience will consist of advanced graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty working in complex geometry. Both speakers will deliver 4 lectures of 50 minutes, with each lecture accompanied by a problem session. Registration to open soon. This event is part of a special semester on complex geometry at the Renyi Insitute

Daniele Angella: Cohomological properties and Hermitian metrics of complex non-Kähler manifolds

Abstract: the first lectures will provide a survey of the cohomological properties and topological aspects of complex manifolds, as well as canonical metrics on complex manifolds. We will then focus on some analytic problems concerning the geometry of the Chern connection on Hermitian manifolds, such as the existence of metrics with constant Chern-scalar curvature, generalizations of the Kähler-Einstein condition to the non-Kähler setting, the convergence of the Chern-Ricci flow on compact complex surfaces, and the asymptotic behavior of Monge-Ampère volumes of Hermitian metrics in the ddc-class.

Hans-Joachim Heins: TBA

The aim of this workshop is to explore recent advances in Kähler geometry, focusing on non-Archimedean aspects of the Strominger--Yau--Zaslow conjecture, potential-theoretic approaches to singular Kähler-Einstein metrics, geometric estimates for solutions to Complex Monge–Ampère equations, connections with the minimal model program, and Calabi-Yau metrics on non-compact manifolds. Registration to open soon. This event is part of a special semester on Complex Geometry at the Renyi Institute
