This is a four day school at the PhD level. It will consist of lecture series by Mohamed Abouzaid (Columbia), , Joana Cirici (Barcelona), Craig Westerland (University of Minnesota), Hisham Sati (NYU-Abu Dhabi), Paolo Salvatore (Roma Tor Vergata) and a final speaker (tba).

The focus of this research school is on three major advances that have emerged lately in the interface between homotopy theory and arithemic: cohomological methods in intersection theory, with emphasis on motivic sheaves; homotopical obstruction theory for rational points and zero cycles; and arithmetic curve counts using motivic homotopy theory. The emergence of homotopical methods in arithmetic represents one of the most important and exciting trends in number theory, and the lectures will give a gentle introduction to this highly technical area.

The three main lecture course topics are:

Cohomological methods in intersection theory Lecturer: Denis-Charles Cisinski (Regensburg) Assistant: Chris Lazda (Amsterdam)

Homotopical manifestations of rational points and algebraic cycles Lecturer: Tomer Schlank (HUJ) Assistant: Ambrus Pal (Imperial)

Arithmetic enrichments of curve counts Lecturer: Kirsten Wickelgren (Georgia Tech) Assistant: Frank Neumann (Leicester)

The lecture courses will be supplemented by tutorial sessions and guest lectures by Paul Arne Østvær (Oslo), Jon Pridham (Edinburgh) and Vesna Stojanovska (Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)

The Young Topologists Meeting is an annual event that has previously been organised by the EPFL, Switzerland; the University of Copenhagen; and jointly by Stockholm University and the Royal Institute of Technology. The YTM 2018 will take place in Copenhagen July 9–13, 2018. The meeting is intended as an opportunity for graduate students, recent PhDs, and other junior researchers in topology to meet each other and share their work. In addition to short talks by the participants, the program for the meeting will include lectures by Kathryn Mann (Brown University) and Mike Hill (UCLA).

This is to announce that there will be a Summer School on K-theory in La Plata, Argentina during the week of July 16-20.

UMI-SIMAI-PTM Mathematical Meeting is a joint initiative of the Polish Mathematical Society (Polskie Towarzystwo Matematyczne), the Italian Mathematical Union (Unione Matematica Italiana) and the Italian Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Società Italiana de Matematica Applicata e Industriale).

The meeting aims at continuation of the tradition of bilateral meetings held in the last years by the Polish Mathematical Society together with other national societies. Mathematicians from other countries are also cordially invited to participate. The meeting will be hosted by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Wrocław and the Faculty of Mathematics of Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Its program will cover topics pertaining to mathematical research conducted in Italy and Poland with a special focus on the applications. It will start on Monday morning September 17, 2018 and end its Scientific Program in the afternoon on Thursday, September 20, 2018. Thursday night and two following days (Friday and Saturday) may be devoted to social activities up to a personal choice (excursions, sightseeing, town's cultural events, shopping), as well as for individually organized scientific activities.

The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers as well as students interested - in a broad sense - in any of the two topics. Mathematically speaking, the main goal of the conference is a better understanding of the interplay between low-dimensional topology and (higher) representation theory with its corresponding applications in link homologies and categorification. Another main goal is to get young researcher in these flourishing and rapidly growing fields together helping them to develop new projects and ideas in an inspiring, international atmosphere.

FRG-supported conference on the interaction between symplectic topology and homotopy theory.

Derived algebraic geometry is an extension of algebraic geometry that provides a convenient framework for directly treating non-generic geometric situations (such as non-transverse intersections in intersection theory), in lieu of the more traditional perturbative approaches (such as the “moving” lemma). This direct approach, in addition to being conceptually satisfying, has the distinct advantage of preserving the symmetries of the situation, which makes it much more applicable. In particular, in recent years, such techniques have found applications in diverse areas of mathematics, ranging from arithmetic geometry, mathematical physics, geometric representation theory, and homotopy theory. This semester long program will be dedicated to exploring these directions further, and finding new connections.

Overview

HIL2019 web imageThe purpose of this workshop is to bring focused attention to Hilbert’s 13th problem, and to the broader notion of resolvent degree. While Abel’s 1824 theorem–that the general degree n polynomial is only solvable in radicals for n<4

is well known, less well known is Bring’s 1786 proof that a general quintic is solvable in algebraic functions of only one variable. Hilbert conjectured that for a general sextic, one needs algebraic functions of two variables, and that for a general degree 7 polynomial, one needs algebraic functions of three variables. More generally, it is natural to expect that as n → ∞ , so does the minimal number of variables needed to solve the general degree n polynomial. In a celebrated theorem, Arnol’d and Kolmogorov proved that, at the level of continuous functions, there is no local obstruction to reducing the number of variables to one. Thus, a resolution of Hilbert’s problem must lie deeper. Resolvent degree was introduced by Brauer in order to provide a rigorous statement of these conjectures. While no progress has yet been made on these conjectures, the study of resolvent degree is receiving renewed attention and an influx of ideas from related fields, including:

the theory of essential dimension
uniformization of moduli spaces
braid monodromy
p-adic Hodge theory

This workshop will bring together young and established researchers who work in these fields to explore topics related to Hilbert’s conjectures, to facilitate interaction between subdisciplines, and to lay the groundwork for future progress. The workshop will be organized around mini-courses by experts which will be aimed at 1) conveying the methods that can be brought to bear from each area, and 2) formulating problems concerning resolvent degree that seem particularly tractable using these methods.

Speakers:

• Michael Hopkins
• Jacob Lurie
• Matthew Morrow
• Kirsten Wickelgren

This workshop will bring together researchers at various frontiers, including arithmetic geometry, representation theory, mathematical physics, and homotopy theory, where derived algebraic geometry has had recent impact. The aim will be to explain the ideas and tools behind recent progress and to advertise appealing questions. A focus will be on moduli spaces, for example of principal bundles with decorations as arise in many settings, and their natural structures.

The purpose of the workshop is to support and expand research efforts by female mathematicians in the field of algebraic topology. The workshop will bring senior and junior researchers together with advanced graduate students to cooperate on research projects on topics of common interest. The focus of the workshop will be on active collaboration to advance the projects, rather than on knowledge communication through lectures.
