The conference "Women in Automorphic Forms" (WIAF) highlights recent, excellent developments on automorphic forms. These forms are of great interest in several research areas in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics. With the WIAF conference we bring together young researchers with excellent senior researchers in order to foster communications of new results and to identify fascinating new directions of further research on automorphic forms. This conference is specially, but not exclusively, addressed to female mathematicians. WIAF 2025 will take place at the University of Bremen, September 10-12, 2025. Plenary speakers are: Ana Botero (U Bielefeld), Kathrin Bringmann (U Cologne; tentative), YoungJu Choie (POSTECH), Bo-Hae Im (KAIST), Yasemin Kara (Bogazici U), Kim Klinger-Logan (Kansas State U), Maria Rosaria Pati (U Genova), Lejla Smajlovic (U Sarajevo). Contributions from participants via short talks or poster presentations are possible (see registration information). For more information: https://www.uni-bremen.de/dynamical-systems/wiaf-2025 Please note that registration is required by August 8th, 2025. For child care support please contact us by July 5th, 2025.

Can machines prove theorems? Can they have mathematical ideas? On one hand, category theory offers a formalism for axiomatising ideas from machine learning. On the other hand, mathematicians are excited about the prospect of utilising machine learning techniques to spot new patterns in vast swathes of combinatorial data and hence formulate new conjectures. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together experts from across algebraic combinatorics, category theory, and machine learning in order to make headway on topics at the intersection of these fields.

The 3rd IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Robotics aims to bring together researchers working on all areas of robotics which have a significant mathematical content. The idea is to highlight the mathematical depth and sophistication of techniques applicable to Robotics and to foster cooperation between researchers working in different areas of Robotics. This Conference has been organised in cooperation with the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

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. Deadline for application: 15 July 2025

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). Organizing committee Serafin Moral (Chair), University of Granada, Spain Inés Couso, University of Oviedo, Spain Enrique Miranda, University of Oviedo, Spain Thierry Denœux, University of Technology of Compiègne, France Anne-Laure Jousselme, CS Group Research Lab, France Frédéric Pichon, Artois University, France David Mercier, Artois University, France

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

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.
