The SwissMAP Research Station 2026 program is out!

Conformal field theories (CFTs) are a powerful tool for describing critical phenomena. While CFTs are highly constrained by symmetry, only in very special cases are exact solutions available. A relatively new tool for describing many-body systems near criticality is...

The Mathematical Physics Summer School for masters students is organized by SwissMAP and offers introductory lectures to different aspects of mathematical physics.

Regularity theory for evolution equations

This conference aims to bring together physicists and mathematicians interested in low-dimensional examples of holographic dualities, the orbit method and their interplay via the quantization of coadjoint orbits of the Vi- rasoro group.

Euler students are 12- to 18-year-old students coming from all French speaking cantons in Switzerland. They take advanced mathematics courses on the EPFL campus on Wednesday afternoons, but do not have many opportunities to work together during the school year due to...

The workshop will discuss latest developments of the interactions between (geometric) group theory and theory of operator algebras. This is a lively topic which has long been known to be of importance for the study of dynamical systems and ergodic theory, but in...

The moduli space of metric graphs MGg is a key object in geometric group theory, algebraic geometry and quantum field theory. In particular, the cohomology of various graph complexes may be understood geometrically as sheaf cohomology on MGg. Recent advances have...

In recent years, optimal transport (OT) theory has emerged as a immensely popular intersection of mathematics, statistics, and computer science, overlapping with topics including partial differential equations (PDEs), optimization, image processing, inverse problems,...

Alps III: Exploring phases of matter through symmetries and tensor networks The ALPS (Advanced Lectures in Physics in Switzerland) is a series of junior schools in theoretical physics taking place in the Swiss Mountains. Its principal aim is to lay the foundation for...

The Junior Euler Society (JES) is the outreach program of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Zurich (UZH). The aim of JES is to provide interested young people of all school levels the opportunity to deal with mathematics beyond the school program.
