Integrals associated with graphs appear in many areas of mathematics and physics. In particle physics, Feynman integrals encode the interactions of elementary particles but also reveal rich algebraic and geometric structures. In geometry and topology, graph integrals play a central role in deformation quantization, homotopy theory, and the study of graph complexes. Despite arising from different motivations, these […]

The past decade has seen a remarkable growth in the use of algebraic topology across the sciences, especially in the life sciences; with notable impact in genomics, proteomics, neuroscience, cancer research, epidemiology, and ecology. These advances have relied on the interplay between algebraic topology and statistics, network science, machine learning, and numerical computational methods. Moreover, recently we have […]

This conference will bring together leading experts from around the world to discuss recent developments and future directions in: Poisson geometry and moment map theory, Lie theory, representation theory, and quantization, Quantum topology and low-dimensional field theories, Mathematical physics. The meeting will also be an occasion to celebrate Anton Alekseev’s 60th birthday and his lasting influence […]

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

A retreat week following three conference weeks (June 21 – July 9, 2027) at the Bernoulli Centre (EPFL). Non-equilibrium quantum field theory plays a central role in both heavy-ion physics and primordial cosmology. Despite the vastly different physical scales involved, the two communities face closely analogous problems such as thermalisation, phase transitions, non-thermal fixed points, […]

The rich web of interactions between string theory and geometry has since the very beginning led to a multitude of results and deep insights on both sides. In particular, the framework of generalized geometry and the language of Courant algebroids have allowed a lot of progress in understanding generalized Ricci flow or in the study of supergravity theories […]

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 of MINT disciplines, in particular towards girls, but not only. The FSJM has contributed to MINT Vaud (https://mint-vaud.ch/) since 2024 and has […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

ALPS (Advanced Lectures in Physics in Switzerland) is a series of junior schools in theoretical physics held in the Swiss mountains. Its main goal is to foster fruitful collaborations among young researchers from diverse backgrounds. This is achieved through inspiring discussions between participants and lectures that bridge seemingly distinct areas of modern theoretical physics. The […]

This conference aims to explore shared structures, exchange methods, foster collaborations and, more generally, bring together researchers from the two distinct, yet closely related research fields of mathematical general relativity and nonlinear dispersive wave equations. The conference program will put special emphasis on the stability of and the dynamics near special solutions, such as black holes, solitons, and […]

Scattering diagrams have emerged as a powerful tool in mathematical physics and enumerative geometry, particularly in the context of mirror symmetry and tropical geometry. This workshop focuses on recent developments in using scattering diagrams to compute enumerative invariants, such as Gromov-Witten and Donaldson-Thomas invariants. Key topics include combinatorial descriptions of scattering diagrams, their relations to […]

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. In addition to regular events, JES annually holds international summer and […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

Historically the fields of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics have benefittedenormously from the mutual exchange of ideas and methods. Insights fromquantum field theory and string theory gave rise to entire new fields in mathematics, while mathematical advances in geometry and algebra have increasingly important applications in theoretical physics. Recent examples are the application of von Neumann […]

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 […]
