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.

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.

What connects Symplectic Geometry so deeply with Algebraic Geometry and Low Dimensional Topology?

Location: 
MPIM Lecture Hall
Parent event: 
MPIM Topology Seminar
The answer that I will propose is a higher categorical structure in symplectic geometry that includes all Fukaya categories and geometric functors between them. Its highly involved algebraic and analytic details are the topic of joint work with Nate Bottman. However, its basic structure can be understood as a natural -- yet not previously studied -- extension of the category of topological spaces and continuous maps.

The elliptic gamma function

PLeaSANT (Participative Learning Seminar on Any Number Theory)

The elliptic gamma function was (re)discovered in 1997 by Ruijsenaars; it gives rise to solutions of models in statistical / mathematical physics. It has a surprising number-theoretic appearance as demonstrated recently by Bergeron, Charollois and García. In parallel with the role of classical Jacobi theta form describing the class field for quadratic imaginary fields, the elliptic gamma function (conjecturally) does this task for cubic fields with a complex embedding.

Counting special points on quadratic surfaces

We show that the modern version of the circle method powered by the equidistribution of quadratic roots allows us to count special points on quadratic surfaces. For example, we obtain asymptotics for integer points on quadratic surfaces with prime coordinates and in short intervals.

The K-theory of graded rings

Parent event: 
Abstract Homotopy Theory Seminar

The topological K-theory of Z/2-graded C*-algebras plays an important role in operator theory. Historically, finding the definition was rather subtle, for several reasons. For example, simply taking the K-theory of a category of graded modules does not give the 'correct' definition, as I will explain. The definition of Z/2-graded C*-algebras by Karoubi is mostly outmoded because of Kasparov's KK-theory, whose technical definitions are more amenable to computations in index theory.
