Events

The workshop aims to present and discuss recent developments in the field of quaternions and octonions by bringing together scientists from both pure and applied mathematics, physics, scientific computing, engineering, and other applied sciences. There will be 4 invited lectures by Alessandro Perotti (University of Trento, Italy), with the talk: "An alternative Fueter Theorem on octonions and Clifford algebras" Aleš Ude (Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia), with the talk: "Application of quaternions in robot learning and control" João Pimentel Nunes (Instituto Superior Técnico, Portugal), with the talk: "Coherent state transforms and Clifford analysis" José María Pérez Izquierdo (University of La Rioja, Spain), with the talk: "Some attitude estimation techniques with quaternions" and accepted short communications. As there might be participants who cannot attend NTQO 2023 in person, the event will be held in a hybrid format.

The Aim of the Spring School is to bring together researchers and students working in Lie symmetry and related methods applications in differential and difference equations. Topics include but not limited to invariant solutions, optimal systems, Noether symmetries and conservation laws. Recent development in the area will provide the opportunities for future directions of research via active collaboration and discussion.

In this conference, we will celebrate the 60th birthdays of Helena J. Nussenzveig Lopes and Milton C. Lopes Filho focusing on the major contributions of their work in the field of mathematical modeling and rigorous analysis of fluid dynamics problems, particularly incompressible flows with little regularity (non-smooth) and turbulent flows. The program will consist of invited and contributed lectures and a poster session.

This workshop will bring together leading researchers at the interfaces of topology, geometry and neuroscience to take stock of recent work and outline future directions. This includes a focus on topological data analysis (persistent homology and related methods), topological analysis of neural networks and their dynamics, topological decoding of neural activity, evolving topology of dynamic networks (e.g., networks that are changing as a result of learning), and analysis of connectome data. Related topics may include the geometry and topology of deep learning, as well as low-dimensional projections of trained networks.

The WIAF conference highlights recent, excellent developments on automorphic forms in all aspects. It is specially, but not exclusively, addressed to female mathematicians. Registration is without a free but mandatory. Plenary speakers: Paloma Bengoechea (U Barcelona), Annika Burmester (U Hamburg), Claire Burrin (U Zürich), Anne-Maria Ernvall-Hytönen (U Helsinki), Özlem Imamoglu (ETH Zürich), Katharina Jochemko (KTH Stockholm), Maryna Viazovska (EPFL; TBC), Marie-France Vigneras (IMJ-PRG Paris), Katrin Wendland (U Dublin) Organizers: Claudia Alfes-Neumann (U Bielefeld), Anna von Pippich (U Konstanz), Anke Pohl (U Bremen)

This is a hands‐on workshop and will introduce delegates to the freely available, open‐source and general‐purpose programming language Python ‐ which is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. Python will be used to enhance the teaching and learning of Mathematics at A‐Level and beyond. Delegates need no prior knowledge of programming to benefit from this workshop.

One of the fundamental questions in neuroscience is to understand how network connectivity shapes neural activity. Over the last 10 years, tremendous progress has been made in collecting neural activity and connectivity data, but theoretical advances have lagged behind. This workshop will focus on identifying mathematical challenges that arise in studying the dynamics of learning, memory, plasticity, decision-making, sequence generation, and central pattern generator circuits. Mathematical ideas and approaches from dynamical systems, statistical mechanics, linear algebra, graph theory, topology, and traditional areas of applied mathematics are all expected to play an important role.

Leading experts in some of the main research areas of our department will come together for three intensive days of research talks.
