Events

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft (study group) is a series of meetings in Oberwolfach. It mainly addresses to non-specialists who want to broaden their outlook on mathematics and to early career mathematicians who wish to enter a field for future research. Experts are also welcome. The idea is “learning by teaching”. Participants have to volunteer for one of the lectures described in the program. After the deadline for application the organizers choose the actual speakers to give them enough time to understand the subject and to prepare for their lectures. An outline of the program can be found on the website of the event. Deadline for applications: 1 June 2025

How do we model complicated phenomena including fluids like phase transition and turbulence by using differential equations?How do we analyze such equations which are often challenging? The weak-long Oberwolfach Seminar will be devoted to such questions. The target audience is PhD students or post-doctoral researchers wishing to be quickly immersed in this modern, active research area. Deadline for application: 15 July 2025

How can we study algebraic geometry, modular representation theory, and stable homotopy theory at the same time? One answer is given by tensor triangular geometry, which is a young and vibrant area based on viewing symmetric monoidal triangulated categories as geometric objects. The aim of the seminar is to give a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of the subject and an overview of recent developments in algebra and topology. There will be a particular focus on triangulated categories associated to finite group actions, for instance equivariant spectra and categories arising from representation theory. The target audience is PhD students and postdocs with a background in homological algebra and/or homotopy theory (e.g. some exposure to derived or triangulated categories) who are keen to learn tensor triangular geometry and be brought up to date with some current research in the subject.

The BELIEF school is a biennial event organized by the Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS) that offers a unique opportunity for students and researchers to learn about fundamental and advanced aspects of the theory of belief functions (also referred to as Dempster-Shafer theory, or evidence theory), a formalism for reasoning with uncertainty. The school will be organized around a set of lectures by prominent researchers. Lectures will gradually tackle basic to more advanced theoretical concepts. They will also highlight the links with other uncertainty theories such as random sets and possibility theory, and present applications of belief functions in various domains including machine learning, information fusion, statistical inference and materials science. Financial Support The Belief Functions and Applications Society (BFAS) is offering several grants that cover the school registration fees (which include the tuition fees, lunches, coffee breaks and the social event).

Stochastic analysis is a very dynamic field which has undergone numerous developments over the last decades: stochastic differential equations (SDE), stochastic partial differential equations (EDPS), Malliavin calculus… The overall aim of the workshop is to bring together experts from different disciplines related to singular stochastic systems to facilitate the exchange of ideas. The goal is to identify and motivate novel research directions on the well-posedness, dynamical behavior and numerical simulation of singular stochastic (partial) differential equations.

The field of diagrammatic categorification is still in its early stages, but it has already had a significant impact on more traditional mathematics. This workshop aims to unite both established experts and emerging scholars across various domains of diagrammatic categorification, including representation theory, combinatorics, and link homology.

In recent years, modern algebraic geometry, such as moduli spaces and enumeration, has been very successfully applied to combinatorics and tensors, resolving old conjectures, giving easier proofs of classical theorems, and opening new research paths. This seminar will focus on the two main interconnected topics. (1) Interactions between matroid theory, geometry, and intersection theory, as in the recent work of June Huh and beyond, using varieties of complete linear maps and complete quadrics; (2) new invariants of tensors, such as 111-algebra and moduli spaces of tensors from Hilbert schemes of points and its generalisations. The common motive is to associate new intricate invariants to seemingly explicit, structureless objects such as tensors or graphs. Deadline for applications: 1 July 2025

This workshop encompasses three major aspects of computation within Representation Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics. One concerns the development of efficient algorithms to compute important quantities in order to understand and classify them better. This is closely related to understanding what optimality we could expect and in particular the computational complexity aspects of those problems. Their computational complexity class can also be used to understand the existence of combinatorial interpretations, in particular for major structure constants lacking positive formulas like Kronecker and plethysm coefficients. On the other hand, representation theory has seen important applications within computational complexity theory, in the context of Geometric Complexity Theory and Quantum Information Theory. Last, but not least, we will discuss the collection of “experimental” data, which helps formulate conjectures, find counterexamples and understand the behavior for some of the problems listed above.
