Applications of Automorphic Forms in Number Theory and Combinatorics

This conference will be held in honor of the lifelong work of Wen-Ching Winnie Li, on the occasion of her birthday. 

The organizers aim to bring together top experts along with junior researchers and graduate students in the active fields of number theory and automorphic forms. 

Distinguished speakers include Abel prize winners Jean-Pierre Serre and John Tate. 

From the synergy of a gathering of researchers with related interests but complimentary knowledge and skills, we expect advances in research programs for the participants, dissemination of important current work by experts to a broad audience, and professional development for junior researchers and graduate students.

Perfectoid Spaces and their Applications

Since their introduction just two years ago, perfectoid spaces have played a crucial role in a number of striking advances in arithmetic algebraic geometry: the proof of Deligne’s weight-monodromy conjecture for complete intersections in toric varieties; the development of p-adic Hodge theory for rigid analytic spaces;  a p-adic analogue of Riemann’s classification of abelian varieties over the complex numbers; and the construction of Galois representations for torsion classes in the cohomology of many locally symmetric spaces (for instance arithmetic hyperbolic 3-manifolds). We will start the week with an exposition of the foundations of the theory of perfectoid spaces, with the aim of teaching novices to work with them. Then we will discuss their current and potential applications.

Ada Lovelace 200 Symposium: celebrating the life and legacy of Ada Lovelace

This symposium, celebrating Ada Lovelace’s 200th birthday on 10 December 2015, is aimed at a broad audience of those interested in the history and culture of mathematics and computer science, presenting current scholarship on Lovelace’s life and work, and linking her ideas to contemporary thinking about mathematics, computing and artificial intelligence.  Other activities include a workshop for early career researchers and a Music and Machines event.

Speakers:  Valerie Barr (Union College), June Barrow-Green (Open University), Drummond Bone (Oxford), Elizabeth Bruton (Museum of the History of Science, Oxford), Muffy Calder (Glasgow), Suw Charman-Anderson (founder, Ada Lovelace Day), Imogen Forbes-Macphail (Berkeley), Vicki Hanson (Rochester Institute of Technology), Chris Hollings (Oxford), Richard Holmes (British Academy), Adrian Johnstone (Royal Holloway), Julia Markus (Hofstra), Ursula Martin (Oxford), Sydney Pauda (author, The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage), Murray Pittock (Glasgow), Cheryl E. Praeger (Western Australia), Soren Riis (Queen Mary London), Stephanie Shirley, Bernard Sufrin (Oxford), Doron Swade, Betty Toole (author, Ada, the Enchantress of Numbers), Moshe Verdi (Rice), Mike Wooldridge (Oxford), Alex Wolf (Imperial)

AMS Summer Institute in Algebraic Geometry

Since Zariski organised a meeting in 1953 at which Serre’s work on coherent sheaves was introducted to American alebraic geometry, there has been a major algebraic geometry meeting every decade.  These meetings have had a profound influence on the subject, providing a natural point to summarize a decade of progress and new developments, and an opportunity to lay out new programs and ideas for the next decade.

Plenary lecturers: Tom Bridgeland (Sheffield), Serge Cantat (Rennes), Simon Donaldson (Imperial and Stony Brook), Hélène Esnault (FU Berlin), Mark Gross (Cambridge), Christopher Hacon (Utah), Mark Kisin (Harvard), Maxim Kontsevich (IHES), Jacob Lurie (Harvard), James McKernan(UC San Diego), Bao Châo Ngô (Chicago), Andrei Okounkov (Columbia), Rahul Pandharipande (ETH Zürich), Peter Scholze (Bonn), Claire Voisin (École Polytechnique), Shou-Wu Zhang (Princeton)

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.
