Confining Strings
Over 50 years ago, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) emerged as the fundamental description of the strong nuclear interactions. Another major milestone was the formulation in 1974 of the large N limit of QCD where the planar Feynman diagrams make the dominant contributions. This exhibited a connection of QCD with weakly coupled string theory, which has stimulated […] |

Gravitational physics and its mathematical analysis
In recent years, the field of (mathematical) general relativity has expanded in exciting ways. This workshop will cover the latest developments in three key areas: the study of the stability and scattering properties of various solutions to the Einstein equations (including black holes spacetimes); the dynamical formation of singularities and instability phenomena associated to extremal […] |

Birational geometry and dynamics
The workshop aims to explore various connections between birational geometry and complex dynamics, focusing on recent achievements in the field. The projective space Pn is one of the most fundamental objects in geometry. Therefore, it is important to understand the structure of its group of birational transformations Bir(Pn), called the Cremona group. In the past […] |

Workshop on Resurgence, wall-crossing & geometry
The theory of resurgence was developed to provide a deeper understanding of asymptotic series in various fields of mathematics. More recently, this theory has been applied to problems in geometry and topology, leading to a new perspective on enumerative invariants in three-manifold topology and in algebraic geometry. A remarkable synthesis is emerging, relating analytic invariants […] |

New Frontiers in Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics
Problems in Extremal and Probabilistic Combinatorics seek to understand the maximum/minimum value attainable by one parameter of a discrete structure assuming only the value of another parameter of that structure. The discrete structure can be either deterministic, or drawn from some distribution. For example, the discrete structure can be a graph, and the question can […] |

Stochastic Equations and Stochastic Dynamics
Tremendous progress has been made in the field of differential equations, including partial differential equations with noise. Fuelled by new techniques and modelling requirements, we can now handle a broader range of stochastic differential equations and stochastic partial differential equations. For instance, the solution theory for the KPZ equation and its cousin, the Stochastic Heat […] |

International EGMO camp
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 speaker, and the speaker 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 […] |

Effective theories for many-body systems out of equilibrium
Despite their complexity, strongly correlated quantum and classical many-body systems have simpler effective descriptions when looking at behaviours that happen at long times or large distances. Intuitively, this is because of “thermalisation”, and related notions: the accumulation, over time and space, of a large number of complex interactions amongst local degrees of freedom, “washes out” […] |

Mathematical Foundations of Biological Organization
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 facts have appeared recently. For example, the proposers have studied the principles of mechanics and evolution of allosteric proteins (JPE, [1]) and the […] |
