Second Announcement


The opening of the Arbeitstagung will take place in the Großer Hörsaal, Mathematisches Institut, Universität Bonn, Wegelerstr. 10, at 3.30 p.m. on Friday, June 24. After the opening and the first program discussion there will be a short break for tea, followed by THE OPENING LECTURE, Großer Hörsaal, at 5 p.m., by Maxim Kontsevich (IHES).


The other lectures will be decided during the course of the meeting, according to the traditional method of the Arbeitstagung. The lectures continue throughout the week, including Saturday, June 25, and Sunday, June 26. Since Don Zagier will celebrate his 60th birtday on June 29th, the AT will have a number-theoretical emphasis. Apart from the opening lecture, there will be some further invited lectures, by M. Atiyah, H. Cohen, A. Goncharov, B. Gross, T. Ibukiyama and G. van der Geer (amongst others).


From Tuesday June 28 onwards lectures will be given at the Max-Planck-Institute for Mathematics. There are also some non-mathematical events during the week, to which all are invited:

BOAT TRIP ON THE RHINE: on Monday, June 27. The boat trip is to Koblenz and back and will take the whole day. There will be some lectures on the boat.
RECTOR'S PARTY: on Wednesday, June 29, at 8 p.m., Festsaal der Universität

Anyone who wishes to attend the Arbeitstagung and would like us to reserve a hotel room, or who wants to request financial support, should fill in the registration form at our homepage. Your wishes for hotel reservations should arrive here by the beginning of May. Since our resources are rather restricted, applications of requesting financial support will be treated on the basis of need and availability of funds. You will be informed about the financial support as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact us by e-mail.

Important:

If you plan to attend the Arbeitstagung, even if you do not need financial support or help with hotel reservations, we would appreciate it if you could let us know well in advance

  • the expected dates of your stay in Bonn;
  • whether you plan to come on the boat on the Rhine (Monday, June 27);
  • whether you plan to attend the rector party (Wednesday, June 29).

This will assist us very much with our planning.

Thank you for your help!

Program and Abstracts of Automorphic forms, Kac-Moody Lie algebras and Strings

Explicit constructions in the theory of automorphic forms and applications

During the past decade automorphic forms have been successfully used to solve some fundamental problems in algebraic geometry and the theory of Kac--Moody algebras. Special Siegel modular forms and mock theta-series have become an important tool in the theory of supergravity.

The main research aims of the program are:

  1. To study reflective modular forms and the corresponding reflective hyperbolic lattices of different ranks and the corresponding Kac--Moody Lie algebras of Borcherds type;
  2. To classify the so-called theta-blocks, the special Jacobi modular forms with infinite product structure, which are intermediate objects between Borcherds automorphic products and the usual SL(2)-modular forms.  To consider the corresponding vector-valued modular forms and Weil representations. To study Siegel modular forms of genus two of small weights, specially of weights 2 and 3.
  3. To study the birational type of different moduli spaces using special automorphic forms with large divisors. More explicitly, to determine the birational type of the moduli spaces of lattice polarised K3 surfaces and the moduli spaces of polarised irreducible symplectic varieties, including the special symplectic O'Grady varieties of dimension 10.


Workshop related to this MPI program:

"Automorphic forms, Kac-Moody Lie algebras and Strings."

May 10--14, 2010.

Recent progress in string theory and the theory of supergravity shows that the generating functions for the quantum degeneracies of supersymmetric black holes are related to reflective Siegel modular forms and mock theta-series. Reflective Siegel forms determine Kac-Moody Lie algebras of Borcherds type which are also important in physics.  The main idea of this workshop is to present the current results in this field related to string theory, the theory of automorphic forms and the theory of Kac-Moody Lie algebras.

  • Noncommutative geometry and Index Theory. Statistical models.
  • Geometric issues in quantum field theory. Hamiltonian anomalies. Bundle n-gerbes.

 

We will celebrate Alan Carey’s 60th birthday at this conference.

  1. All such submissions by participants to the conference proceedings should be sent to carey60@mpim-bonn.mpg.de
  2. The absolute deadline for such submissions is Friday 30th July, 2010 (in Europe).
  3. Shorter submissions (5-20 pages) are encouraged, as they need to be refereed quickly to meet publication deadlines.

Mathematische Arbeitstagung 2009

Program and Abstracts of Mathematische Arbeitstagung 2009

The "Ninth Arbeitstagung of the Second Series" will take place from Friday, June 5, to
Thursday, June 11, 2009. The opening lecture and perhaps a few other lectures will be
fixed in advance. All other talks will be decided on the spot by a democratic process,
following the traditional system.
The first Arbeitstagung took place from July 13 to July 20, 1957. The lecturers were: M. F.
Atiyah, H. Grauert, A. Grothendieck, F. Hirzebruch, N. Kuiper, and J. Tits. The first series
of 30 Arbeitstagungen was organized by F. Hirzebruch. The second series, which started
in 1993, is organized by the directors of the MPI.
Participation in the Arbeitstagung is not generally by invitation. Instead, the Arbeitstagung
is announced publicly, and anyone who wishes to do so can apply to the Max Planck
Institute for financial support stating how much they need, how much they can get from
other sources, and whether their participation depends on getting support. We will then try
to distribute the available funds in as fair a way as possible, giving priority to the people
with more limited financial resources or to those who are attending the Arbeitstagung for
the first time. Our funding is limited, but we hope that no one who really wants to attend is
unable to do so for financial reasons. Decisions on financial support will be made in spring
2009. We will provide assistance with finding hotel accommodation.
