Non-Archimedean Geometry and its Applications

There have been numerous recent advances in non-Archimedean geometry. These advances have seen new and sometimes unexpected applications across mathematics. In order to make these developments known to a larger audience, the present conference will bring together leading experts in those fields where non-Archimedean geometry or non-Archimedean analysis plays an important role, with the hope of fostering further connections between these fields.

Among the themes represented at the conference will be Berkovich spaces, tropical geometry, dynamical systems, and p-adic Hodge theory.

X Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis

This conference is a sequel to the Americas Conference on Differential Equations and Nonlinear Analysis series that started in 1994 with a meeting in Taxco, Mexico, and has held meeting on a regular basis ever since.  This is the first time the meeting will take place in Argentina.

AIMS-Stellenbosch University Number Theory Conference

The goal of this conference is to give a broad perspective of areas of modern number theory and to highlight some recent advances.  The conference is one of the biennial Number Theory meetings which have been held at Stellenbosch University since 1997.

Women in Numbers Europe 2

The conference will highlight and advance the scientific goals and research agendas of women who are active and successful researchers in number theory.  At the same time this framework will be used to help create a strong collaboration network for young female researchers coming into the field, connect them with important research directions and expand their network of collaborators and research mentors.  Rather than focusing on disseminating the results of established researchers, the workshop will focus on research projects that will be started during the week of the workshop and have the potential to result in on-going collaboration between the participants.

Quantum Integrable Systems, Conformal Field Theories and Stochastic Processes

Universality within and between complex random systems is a striking concept which has played a central role in the direction of research within probability, mathematical physics and statistical mechanics.  Complementary to universality, is the exact description of the behaviors that are supposed to be universal as well as the determination which systems are supposed to display them.  In recent years there has been an immense amount of progress in the rigorous mathematical understanding of certain universal scaling limits in both equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physical systems.  On the equilibrium side, critical scaling limits are often described in terms of conformal field theories, among which Liouville quantum gravity plays an important role.  On the non-equilibrium side, systems like growth processes are described through the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class.

There is reason to believe that these two directions share many (as of yet) unexploited relationships.  For instance, the field of quantum integrable systems was developed to study equilibrium systems, but has now found itself center stage in the KPZ universality class.  Conversely, methods developed in stochastic PDEs for non-equilibrium systems have begun to make their way into constructive field theory.

The purpose of this two week conference is to bring together experts in these two areas and enable a lively exchange of ideas and methods through mini-courses and research talks.

Dynamics, Geometry and Number Theory

This conference will cover recent progress of the theory of dynamical systems and its geometric and number-theoretic applications.  In recent years there have been spectacular advances in the area, highlighting various connnections between dynamics, rigidity, Diophantine approximation, combinatorics, and many other areas of mathematics.  Many recent developments have been made possible by the previous ground-breaking work of Gregory Margulis, whose 70th birthday will be honored by the conference.

L-functions and Arithmetic

This conference, in honor of Karl Rubin’s 60th birthday, will focus on recent progress on relations between L-functions and arithmetic objects, and the repercussions these relations have throughout many areas in number theory.

Leuca2016

This conference is organized on the occasion of the 70th birthday of Michel Waldschmidt.  Reflecting Waldschmidt’s broad interests, the conference will be devoted to all of Number Theory, with a special emphasis on his main topics of interest, Number Theory and Diophantine Approximation.  It will provide a unique opportunity to discuss the state of the art in many classical topics in these fields, but also to explore new fast emerging important topics, such as unlikely intersections, Bogomolov and Lehmer problems, and André-Oort conjectures.

British Applied Mathematics Colloquium

BAMC is an annual multidisciplinary meeting for applied mathematicians.  It covers the whole range of applied mathematics and provides an opportunity for early career researchers to present their work and establish links with other academics.  It also provides a forum for the wider applied mathematics community to discuss issues of importance.
