Conference on "Motives and Automorphic Forms" in Honour of Günter Harder's 85th Birthday, March 6 - 10, 2023

Following a line of research culminating in the works of Weil, Eichler, Shimura and Taniyama, then further pushed by the emerging of the Langlands program, many deep and fruitful bridges between automorphic forms and algebraic geometry have been explored and led to spectacular results. During the fifty years span from the proof of Ramanujan’s conjecture on the discriminant modular form, using the validity of the Weil conjectures in algebraic geometry over finite fields, to the recent proof of the Sato-Tate conjectures for elliptic curves over CM fields, using automorphic machinery, it has been clearly established that the interaction between these two fields has amazing applications in both directions. Moreover, several guiding principles in this area have been inspired by the philosophy of motives, which has now developed into a mature theory providing not only heuristics, but concrete and sophisticated new tools to attack problems. The aim of the conference is to present the state of the art of the field by gathering leading experts at the crossroads of automorphic forms, arithmetic geometry and representation theory, and celebrating Günter Harder’s influence on these topics.

A detailed program will follow.

In case you have any questions, please contact harder85$@$mpim-bonn$.$mpg$.$de.

Financial support

We encourage participants to seek external funding, so that the limited financial support available can be primarily used for early career mathematicians. In case you do need financial support, you can indicate this in the registration form.

Registration

If you would like to participate, please register before November 27, 2022 (we reserve the right to close the registration earlier, depending on demand). We especially welcome applications from members of minority groups. The total number of participants is limited and, after the deadline, we will inform the registered participants that were not already invited if participation is possible.

Conference on "Arithmetic Statistics, Automorphic Forms and Ergodic Methods", April 24 - 28, 2023

Conference on "Arithmetic Statistics, Automorphic Forms and Ergodic Methods", April 24 - 28, 2023

The field of arithmetic statistics is a fast-moving area of number theory, dealing with distributional results for many basic and important objects: ranks of elliptic curves, central values of L-functions, number fields, modular symbols, orbits of discrete groups etc. The techniques involved come from diverse areas of mathematics e.g. automorphic forms, ergodic theory, spectral theory, dynamical systems, probabilistic number theory, representation theory and random matrix theory. This workshop intends to bring together researchers of all career levels to present their work and exchange ideas and techniques on arithmetic statistics. Motivated by the  programme of Mazur and Rubin based on their computational study of elliptic curves over abelian extensions of fixed degree, the meeting will focus on modular symbols, Manin's noncommutative modular symbols, equidistribution of lattice points on the sphere, Heegner points, and closed geodesics, including the error term in the Prime Geodesic Theorem.

Arbeitstagung 2023 on Condensed Mathematics, June 19 - 23, 2023

The Arbeitstagung 2023 will focus on Condensed Mathematics, a new approach to topology, and its applications throughout mathematics, from logic over algebra, analysis and K-theory to group theory and dynamical systems. As usual at an Arbeitstagung, part of the program will only be decided during the event depending on the interests of the audience.

Recent developments in Quantum Topology -- Cancelled --

Posted in

We will review the basics of quantum topology such as the colored Jones polynomial of a knot, its standard conjectures relating to asymptotics, arithmeticity and modularity, as well as the recent quantum hyperbolic invariants of Kashaev et al, their state-integrals and their structural properties. The course is aimed to be accessible by graduate students and young researchers.

Felix Klein Lectures

At the start of the 20th century, David Hilbert asked which representations can arise by studying the monodromy of Fuchsian equations. This question was the starting point for a beautiful circle of ideas relating the topology of a complex algebraic variety X to the study of algebraic differential equations. A central result is the celebrated Riemann-Hilbert correspondence of Kashiwara and Mebkhout, which supplies a fully faithful embedding from the category of perverse sheaves on $X$ to the category of algebraic $\mathfrak{D}_X$-modules.

Given a sequence $X_i $ of closed n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds of Ricci curvature bounded below and diameter bounded above, one can always find a convergent subsequence (in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense).
We study the relationship between the topology of the spaces $X_i $ and the geometry and topology of the limit space.
