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, sampling and machine learning. The deep theoretical foundations of optimal transport have led to its critical role in addressing both classical and […]

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 furthermore uncovered deep connections between MGg and objects of central interest in neighboring areas […]

Shuffle algebras have long provided important tools in the study of quantum groups.

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 recent years has also exhibited unexpected connections for example to quantum information […]

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 large-charge expansion. This tool allows a systematic computation of the CFT data that is necessary […]

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 their diverse geographical origins. The summer camp is a unique occasion to meet […]

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

Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers unconditional security based (in principle) solely on the laws of physics. This level of security is unprecedented – classical cryptography always relies on assumptions about the computational hardness of certain problems, leaving open the possibility that encryption might be broken. This research field is currently in an exciting transition phase, […]

Many moduli spaces of interest in mathematics and theoretical physics carry rich geometric structures, including symplectic or Poisson structures and their relatives. Quantization of these moduli spaces links to several different areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, giving rise to far-reaching implications. The conference will showcase recent advances in the following areas, and provide opportunities […]

Scattering amplitudes in physics, which predict particle interactions, are calculated by evaluating complicated multidimensional “Feynman integrals”. Expressing Feynman integrals in terms of known special functions is deeply rewarding: on the one hand, it gives access to alternative representations of the integrals, which may dramatically accelerate numerical computations. On the other hand, algebraic and differential relations […]

Originating in classical mechanics, Hamiltonian geometry is currently an active and flourishing area of symplectic geometry with many connections to other fields, both within and outside mathematics. Loosely speaking, the main objects of study are spaces on which the most basic measurement that can be made is area, with symmetries that have a conserved quantity. […]

Complex networks naturally arise in contexts as diverse as data science, ecology, engineering, and sociology. They concern a significant portion of the scientific community and society, especially when modeling various aspects of reality. From a mathematical standpoint, complex networks intersect graph theory, topology, and geometry. In recent decades, innovative techniques from these mathematical fields have […]

Master students can submit their applications as well. Accommodation and full board are covered for all accepted participants but not travel expenses. Acceptance or rejection […]

Deep neural networks, and in particular transformer architectures, have become a cornerstone of modern machine learning, driving unprecedented advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Yet the mechanisms by which these models learn and process information through their depth remain poorly understood from a mathematical standpoint. This workshop aims to provide an interface for researchers in machine […]

The workshop brings together researchers in stochastic analysis and related fields to exchange ideas and present recent developments. It will provide a platform for participants learning from each other, discussing new models and methods, and exploring emerging research directions. A central goal is to foster collaboration among scientists with complementary expertise, encouraging new connections and […]

This is a recurring workshop, held in Les Diablerets every February since 2005. It covers current developments in mathematical physics and related areas, rotating the subject over the years. The emphasis will be on hot topics, to be chosen three months before the workshop. There will be 2-3 minicourses, a few invited talks by senior […]

This is an international camp aimed at preparing students for the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO). Each country will bring their EGMO team and a leader, and the leader from each country will teach one preparation session (morning or afternoon) in an area within algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics. There will also be a […]

Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics explores the relations between different parameters of various discrete structures, such as graphs, set systems, permutations, and boolean functions. While this area emerged as a collection of unrelated problems around a century ago, it has since been structured into well-defined subareas, each with its own established sets of tools and techniques. […]

Hyperkähler manifolds are beautiful geometric objects of great interest in algebraic geometry, differential geometry, geometric representation theory, mirror symmetry, theoretical physics and many other fields. They are also extremely rare: indeed, the known compact hyperkähler manifolds come in only 2 infinite families and 2 exceptional cases. Since O’Grady constructed these exceptional examples more than 25 […]

European Kylerec is a five-day residential workshop aimed at graduate students in symplectic and contact topology. It is modelled after the MIT Talbot Workshop and the symplectic spin-off Kylerec. The core idea of the workshop is to have participants living communally in a location far from the distractions of everyday life. The participants are responsible […]

Many-body systems that are subject to noise, measurements, and feedback—such as fault-tolerant quantum computers—form a new class of long-range entangled mixed states. Defining “phases of matter” for such systems, and classifying them into phases, is a central open question at the interface between many-body physics and quantum information theory. Several of these novel information-theoretic phases of matter […]
