Program and Abstracts of Conference on "Quantum Topology"

"Hot Topics" Conference on "Quantum Topology", May 12 - 16, 2025

The discovery of polynomial invariants of knots by Jones sparked the study of quantum topology in the late 80s and 90s. Work over the last two decades has led to deeper understanding of the mathematical structures behind these invariants.

Twinned workshop on "Quantum Field Theory and Topological Phases via Homotopy Theory and Operator Algebras", June 30 - July 11, 2025

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) and Quantum Statistical Mechanics are central to high energy physics and condensed matter physics; they also raise deep questions in mathematics.  The application ofoperator algebras to these areas of physics is well-known.

Program and Abstracts of Conference on "Progress and Emergent Theories in Zeta and L-Functions" (PRETZL)

Conference on "Progress and Emergent Theories in Zeta and L-Functions" (PRETZL), July 21-25, 2025

There has been an enormous amount of progress in the analytic theory of zeta and L-functions over the past decade. Our understanding in the classical theory of the value distribution of the Riemann zeta function has achieved new heights with spectacular breakthroughs on moments and extreme values (both local and global) leading to a better understanding of families of L-functions more generally.

Program and Abstracts of Conference in Memory of Yuri Manin

Conference in Memory of Yuri Manin, August 11 - 15, 2025

Yuri I. Manin (February 16, 1937 - January 7, 2023) was an extraordinary figure in mathematics. Renowned for his creativity, Professor Manin's profound insights -- in diverse subjects ranging from algebraic geometry to mathematical physics and quantum computing -- helped shape modern mathematics. Professor Manin was Director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. In this week-long conference, the institute will honor his results and ideas and will attempt to trace some of their developments.
