Conference

Speakers

The Hausdorff Center for Mathematics, founded as a cluster of excellence within the German Excellence Initiative, is approaching its tenth year of successful progression. On this occasion the conference will be organized to outline new trends, results, and challenges in mathematical sciences.

The Arbeitstagung of 2015 will have the general theme

Counting problems on moduli spaces

including such topics as Hurwitz counting problems for coverings, computations of volumes and other combinatorial invariants of moduli spaces of curves and of flat surfaces, Siegel-Veech constants, Gromov-Witten numbers, topological recursion, or dessins d'enfants. There will be mini-courses and research lectures by invited speakers including Alex Eskin, Motohico Mulase, Rahul Pandharipande, Richard Thomas, and Anton Zorich. The other lectures will be determined in the traditional way by open discussion during the meeting.

Goals

We propose bringing together researchers in ergodic theory, topological dynamics, number theory, and combinatorics who are interested in similar problems from very different perspectives, with the ultimate goal of elucidating the nature of the links among these fields. There will be a conference in the final week (July 21-25, 2014).
