The SwissMAP Research Station 2026 program is out!

Quantum field theory (QFT) is the universal language of modern theoretical physics. Originally developed to describe the interaction of light and matter, QFT has since found spectacular applications in particle, condensed matter, and statistical physics, as well as in...

Around associators: from integrable systems to number theory

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.

The Swiss Federation of Mathematical Games (FSJM, https://fsjm.ch/en/home/) is a non profit association that promotes the study and practice of mathematics in Switzerland, through appropriate recreational means. The activities of the FSJM contribute to the promotion...

The Mathematical Physics Summer School for masters students is organized by SwissMAP and offers introductory lectures to different aspects of mathematical physics.   ---- Confirmed speakers: Anton Alekseev (University of Geneva) Edward Mazenc (ETH Zurich) Nikita...

The amplituhedron is a remarkably elegant geometric object that was discovered in 2013 in the context of studying scattering amplitudes in theoretical particle physics (specifically, in planar N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory). It presents a radically different way to...

Algebraic K-theory is one of the central and ubiquitous objects of modern mathematics. It plays an important role in such diverse fields as number theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. One characteristic feature of it is that, more often than not, algebraic...

Alps II 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 fruitful collaborations between young researchers with a variety of...

Moduli of varieties and sheaves The HAGS started in 2013, and has been a major cohesive activity in Algebraic Geometry in Switzerland ever since. The core of the workshop is 3-4 lecture series given by top experts in the eld, which are complemented by colloquium style...

Most of theoretical biology is currently restricted to modeling and statistical analysis. However, mathematicians and theoretical physicists increasingly search for general principles underlying life, and several instances of mathematical insights about biological...
