Vector Bundles on Algebraic Curves: Curves, Surfaces and Moduli

Date: 19 - 23 January 2026

Location: Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán

The main purposes of the VBAC research group are to stimulate research in the area, map out directions for future investigations, and promote the integration of junior researchers in the community. The VBAC conferences are one of the important instruments for achieving these purposes. The 2026 conference will focus on the following themes: bundles and their generalisations including on higher dimensional varieties, Brill-Noether theory, tropical geometry, as well as the geometry of moduli spaces. These are very active topics of research which interact with many areas of geometry and promise to generate a lot of new activity and progress in the future.

The organisers will bring together many of the established leaders in the field as well as younger researchers who have recently done important work, with a view to both fostering interactions and allowing the participants, especially junior researchers, to get up-to-date on the latest developments and map out directions for future work.
