Conference on "Enumerative Arithmetic and the Cohen–Lenstra Heuristics", June 3 - 7, 2019

The purpose of the workshop is to survey recent progress and promising future research directions on statistical properties of class groups of number fields, of Selmer groups of elliptic curves, and related topics. The conference will feature a mixture of overview talks and more specialised research talks, as well as contributed talks by early career researchers. There will also be ample time for informal discussions and collaborations.

Conference on "Integrability, Geometry and Moduli" July 29 - August 2, 2019

This is a conference in honor of Motohico Mulase's 65th birthday. It will cover recent advances around the following themes

Quantization of moduli spaces, in particular the Hitchin moduli space of Higgs bundles
Gromov-Witten theory, Frobenius manifolds, integrable hierarchies, cohomological field theories
Geometry of quiver varieties, wall-crossing phenomena
Mirror symmetry, topological string theory, quantum invariants of 3-manifolds
Topological recursion, quantum curves, and application to geometry and enumerative problems (Hurwitz theory, random matrix theory, ribbon graphs)

Connections between these fields are apparent from the physics perspective and research is trying to make rigorous sense of these relationships. Encouraging the exchanges between mathematicians and theoretical physicists will thus be an important dimension of the conference. More details available soon.
