Iwasawa 2023: in Memory of John Coates

The Iwasawa conferences are an international conference series that has been taking place roughly biennially since 2004 and is the established regular conference that updates the research community on progress in Iwasawa theory. The focus of the 2023 meeting will be slightly wider to reflect the interests of John Coates. 

Coates made fundamental contributions to our understanding of elliptic curves, L-functions and the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, and was one of the founders of Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves and of non-commutative Iwasawa theory. He held the Sadleirian chair of mathematics at Cambridge until his retirement (1986–2012), was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1985, and served as the President of the London Mathematical Society in 1988–1990.

String Math 2023

The University of Melbourne will host String Math 2023, an annual conference held in different locations around the world (and next year for the first time in Australia). Its aim is to cover the most important recent developments at the interface between string theory, quantum field theory and mathematics, while keeping a rough balance between physics and mathematics, stimulating interactions between the two communities.

Foundations of Computational Mathematics, FoCM 2023

The FoCM 2023 Conference in Paris will build upon previous FoCM conferences and will make it a unique meeting point of specialists in computational mathematics and of researchers in mathematics and in computer science. The emphasis will be on multidisciplinary interaction across subjects and disciplines, in an informal and friendly atmosphere. The mornings are devoted to plenary lectures delivered by some of the foremost world authorities, and during the afternoons participants split into 7 workshops of the highest technical level. The organizers and committed participants of the conference have an outstanding history of intellectual and service contributions to the foundations of computational mathematics. Detailed planning of the conference program is well advanced. The organizers of the 21 workshops are chosen to include both established senior and talented junior researchers, their potential, diversity and creativity promising a vibrant scientific program.

A Panorama of Homotopy Theory

This conference will bring together three overlapping and interacting communities: equivariant and motivic homotopy theory, derived algebraic geometry, applications of homotopy theory in physics. The organizers will strive to represent the unity of the vast and still growing subject of homotopy theory. Sub-communities that have developed over time will thus again sit next to each other, their common history giving them a common language and tool set. This will enable mutual stimulation, exchange and cross-fertilisation.

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear Waves: a Conference in Honor of Frank Merle

Since his early articles in the 1980s, Frank Merle’s work has been mostly centered on the mathematical analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations with Hamiltonian structure, like dispersive and wave equations, appearing in problems of wave propagation. In the 1980s, basic properties of these equations were established, notably the existence and stability properties of special solutions called solitons.  In the 1990s, the introduction of tools from harmonic analysis led to a refined understanding of the properties of the linear equations and how to extend them to nonlinear equations by perturbation. In this context, breakthrough works on the local well-posedness problem for such equations by Kenig-Ponce-Vega, Bourgain, Tao and others, were extremely influential. In particular, the notion of criticality appeared (invariance by scaling). The remaining problem of understanding qualita- tively the long-time dynamics of solutions, in relation with solitons have attracted considerable interest in the last thirty years. Frank Merle has enormously contributed to such questions in di↵erent directions : blowup in finite time, multi-solitons, collision of solitons, classification of solutions, soliton resolution conjecture. Very often, his surprising and disruptive ideas have strongly influenced the field. During the conference, Pierre Rapha ̈el (Herchel Smith Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Cambridge), former PhD student and long-term collaborator of Frank Merle, will give a talk summarizing Merle’s main contributions and ideas.  In this conference, several of the best worldwide experts in the field of dispersive and wave equations will present various aspects of their recent advances.

New Perspectives in Pure Mathematics

In recent years, reasearch in pure mathematics has flourished.  Often the most notable advances and breakthroughs have come from researchers drawing upon results and techniques from other areas, or finding applications in other areas.  This three-day conference will focus on the interaction between algebra, combinatorics, geometry, logic, number theory, and topology.  The invited speakers are excellent researchers whose work cuts across and combines various areas within pure mathematics and theoretical computer science.

Gelfand Centennial Conference: a View of 21st Century Mathematics

This conference is dedicated to the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Israel Moiseevich Gelfand (1913-2009), one of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century. Gelfand made fundamental contributions to many areas of mathematics, and created a large and prominent school. He always emphasized unity of mathematics, and stressed that a mathematician should study new mathematics all of their life.

Women in Mathematics Days

The Women in Mathematics Day is an annual event organised by the London Mathematical Society.  Sessions will include talks by women mathematicians at different career stages and a poster session. There will also be a number of practical sessions to help women get the most out of their careers in mathematics. Sessions will include advice on how to get funding for your first postdoc and beyond and discussion groups on topics such as combining family and career, working overseas and making the next step in your career. The event provides an opportunity to meet and talk with women who are active and successful in mathematics.

IMA Conference on Mathematics of Finance

One persistent theme in the history of mathematics is the close relationship between the subject and finance. From the Babylonians, through Fibonacci and then Stevin, Pascal, Fermat, Huygens, Bernoulli and Bachelier the development of mathematics has often been based on solving problems in finance.  The series of financial crises following 2007 have highlighted the need for novel mathematics to address the increasingly complex problems of finance. The aim of this conference is to encourage mathematicians, from a wide range of backgrounds, to address important societal issues in relation to the operation of modern markets.
