Interaction with homological and quantum algebra, representation theory, geometry, and computation has led to great leaps in low-dimensional topology over recent years. Examples include the program aimed at disproving the smooth four-dimensional Poincare conjecture; the emergence of polynomial-time computable knot polynomials;  and topological approaches to problems in Lie theory. The synthesis of breakthrough ideas that […]

The goal of this workshop is to bring together junior and senior researchers at the forefront of mathematical investigations into the dynamical behavior of fluid flow. Recent years have seen rapid progress on fundamental issues connecting to the theory of turbulence and mixing dynamics. For the classical fluid equations of Euler and Navier Stokes, key […]

This event is jointly organized by the “Swiss Mathematical Society”and the “Société Mathématique de France”. The intertwining of research and outreach is a deeply federating topic for both mathematical societies, and will allow researchers from all fields to join. We propose a conference enabling researchers to create outreach content from their own research, and experience […]

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.

Modular forms, and more generally automorphic forms, is a classical topic that has been studied since the 19th century. Over time, the subject has evolved into a large research area with unexpected and far-reaching connections to many different domains. Recently, there have been spectacular development and applications such as • applying non-classical modular forms to […]

A two-dimensional conformal field theory (2D-CFT) is a quantum field theory on a Euclidean two-dimensional space, that is invariant under local conformal transformations. In contrast to other types of conformal field theories, 2D-CFTs have infinite-dimensional symmetry algebras. In some cases, this allows them to be solved exactly — at least in the physics sense. Mathematicians […]

This Workshop is part of a 5-week program. More information on the page of the event.

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 calculate fundamental quantities in quantum field theory, in which long-standing principles such as unitarity and […]

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. One of such activities is the Championship of Mathematical and Logical Games, for […]

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 K-theory is immensely hard to describe explicitly. A variety of conjectures have been proposed […]

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 talks and contributions from junior participants. The theme for […]

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 backgrounds. It is achieved by inspiring discussions between students and through lectures […]

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 […]

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” […]

This summer school focuses on exciting recent developments at the intersection of geometric group theory and algebraic topology. The full force of the tools and ideas in the interplay between these two subjects have yet to be exploited. The aim of this school is to expose young researchers to the results and questions arising from […]
