Mini-workshop in algebraic geometry
Seminar on Algebra, Geometry and Physics: A Homage
Hybrid. via Zoom
Contact: Gaetan Borot (HU Berlin), Pieter Moree (MPIM), Maxim Smirnov (University of Augsburg)
The seminar of Yuri Ivanovich Manin started in Moscow and existed for more than half a century. With the passing away of Yuri Ivanovich in January 2023, it has been decided that the seminar will be discontinued, as it had always been tailor-made to his personality. We wish to honor the influence of the seminar, which offered a platform to many mathematicians, and pay homage to its creator. After a brief historical recollection by Mikhail Kapranov, we will end the seminar with two talks by Don Zagier and Matilde Marcolli, who were colleagues of Yuri Ivanovitch and knew him well.

Workshop "Compactifications of stability manifolds"
This is a one-morning workshop about two newly-discovered approaches to the compactification
of the space of Bridgeland stability conditions.
Workshop on "$\infty$-categories and their applications", August 17 - 20, 2020
Update!
The workshop will take place remotely. More information and the program will follow.
The quest for solid foundations for $\infty$-categories started several decades ago, but from the mid-2000s there have been spectacular developments which excitingly accelerated the pace of progress. This workshop will focus on these objects, both in their foundations and in the applications to different fields of mathematics. The workshop consists of 4 minicourses on $\infty$-categories and on related topics which have benefited substantially from the $\infty$-categorical viewpoint.
We think this workshop will prove interesting for advanced Master students, PhD students, seasoned mathematicians from other areas who want to learn some new $\infty$-categorical approaches, and more generally for anybody interested in new developments with $\infty$-categories.
Minicourses
Bergner, Julie (University of Virginia) - Models for homotopical higher categories
Haugseng, Rune (Norwegian University of Science and Technology) - Introduction to $\infty$-operads
Nikolaus, Thomas (WWU Münster) - Higher Categories and Algebraic K-Theory

SageMath presentation afternoon (Wednesday July 24th)

SageMath (http://www.sagemath.org/) is an open source software for mathematical computations. It gathers hundreds of specialized libraries and softwares in a unified Python interface.
On the afternoon of July 24th, there will be a presentation of SageMath at MPI Bonn (1:00 - 4:00). After tea time (ie from 5pm) several SageMath experts will be there on the fourth floor in case you need help for installing SageMath on your computer or need advice on how to carry a specific computation.
This event is part of a week long workshop taking place at the Computer Science department of Bonn University.

Lectures by Vladimir Voevodsky: "Dependent Type Theories"
Abstract: Modern dependent type theories exist mostly in the form of computer programs. As such they are objects of the physical reality more than they are objects of the mathematical one. For three decades the world of type theories was relatively calm - innovation was largely occurring in the layers of programming above the type theories leading to proof assistants with more and more sophisticated systems for notation, implicit arguments and tactics.
The discovery of the univalent models led to the addition of new features to the existing type theories as well as to the development of entirely new ones such as cubicaltt. Eventually, these new type theories will become the cores of proof assistants with much more convenient than before environments for formal verification of mathematical arguments.
It is clear that the only way to ensure that these new proof assistants are reliable - that any proof of “false” in such a proof assistant can be mechanically transformed into a proof of “false” in one of the “consistency standards”, is to have a system where a new proof assistant has to be formally certified using an already certified proof assistant against an already certified formal system before it can become accepted as a reliable tool in pure mathematics.
The strongest consistency standard available in pure mathematics is ZFC. This means that as a prerequisite for such a certification system we need to have a mathematical theory of dependent type theories that can be formalized in ZFC. At the moment only fragments of this future theory exist. I will give an introduction to my vision of the theory by describing these fragments and pointing out the gaps.

Workshop: Geometric quantization and topological recursion
Goal: The workshop aims at establishing bridges between the geometric quantization of moduli spaces, and the theory of the topological recursion, continuing earlier discussions initiated by some of the participants. As an application, we have in view the understanding of the all-order asymptotics of quantum knot invariants, like the knot state ensuing from the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev construction, or the colored Jones polynomial.
At this occasion, two 5h mini-courses will be held, 9h-11h every day of the week:
Recordings of the mini-courses are available here
The Hitchin connection and the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev TQFT
Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen (QGM Aarhus)
We will review the relevant moduli spaces of flat connections which forms the corner stone in the construction of quantum Chern-Simons theory from a gauge theory point of view. We will further review the construction of the Hitchin connection in the bundles over Teichmüller space, which are obtained by applying geometric quantization to these moduli spaces. Following this, we will discuss the asymptotics of the Hitchin connection near certain points on the Thurston boundary of Teichmüller space. This will allow us to define both, the unitary structure preserved by the Hitchin connection, the handlebody boundary state vector and curve operators. We will then discuss their relations to Toeplitz operators and obtain asymptotics results about these TQFT. If time allows, we will also discuss quantum Chern-Simons theory with complex gauge group.
Topological recursion and moduli spaces
Bertrand Eynard (IPHT CEA Saclay & CRM Montréal)
The lecture will start with an introduction to the topological recursion. Then, we shall explain the proof of the theorem relating topological recursion to integrals over moduli spaces of curves. The last part will focus on the notion of quantum curves. Some explicit examples will be treated, in particular the finite reductions of KdV.
Extra talk on Wednesday 26, 4.30pm:
Topological recursion for Chern-Simons theory
Gaetan Borot
We will review what is known on the application of topological recursion to Chern-Simons theory, and informally summarize the relations we expect between geometric quantization of character varieties and topological recursion.
Extra talk on Friday 28, 1.00pm (Seminar room, next to Lecture Hall):
Hitchin system and quantum curves
Motohico Mulase
Two regular MPIM seminars will be related to the topic of the workshop:
Topology seminar, Monday 4.30pm
Graphical obstructions to the surjectivity of the higher order Johnson homomorphism
Jim Conant
Oberseminar, Thursday 3.00pm
Givental quantization procedure and computation of Gromov-Witten invariants by topological recursion
Nicolas Orantin
The remaining time will be devoted to discussions among the participants.
Participants: Raphaël Belliard, Leonid Chekhov, James Conant, Olivia Dumitrescu, Gregor Masbaum, Pavel Mnev, Motohico Mulase, Werner Nahm, Nicolas Orantin, François Petit, Nuño Romao, Emanuel Scheidegger, Shehryar Sikander, Tom Sutherland, Szilard Szabo, Roland van der Veen.
