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.

Most of the talks will be streamed via Zoom (the ones where speakers consent to being streamed). The talks that will NOT be streamed are marked in the program.

Recordings and materials of the conference are available in the MPIM archive [5]
