In the 1980s, Ceresa exhibited one of the first naturally occurring examples of an algebraic cycle, the Ceresa cycle, which is in general homologically trivial but algebraically nontrivial. In the last few years, there has been a renewed interest in the Ceresa cycle, and other cycle classes associated to curves over arithmetically interesting fields, and their interactions with analytic, combinatorial, and arithmetic properties of those curves. We hope to capitalize on this momentum to bring together different communities of arithmetic geometers to fully explore explicit computations around the arithmetic and geometry of cycles when these various approaches are systematically combined.

The seminar will tie together two active research directions: complex fluids and long time behavior of Euler, Navier-Stokes and related equations. The seminar will focus on new trends in the investigation of long time behavior, mixing, emergence of coherent structures, topological change and singularity formation in fluids. There will be three pedagogical mini-courses aimed at exposing students to the themes of long time behavior and inviscid limit, of complex fluids and of singularity formation. Problem sessions will accompany these courses, during which specific open problems will be stated and discussed. Specific lectures will describe methods of nonlinear and nonlocal analysis with emphasis on broad applicability. Please see the detailed program on the website of the seminar. Deadline for application: 1 March 2024

The last decade has seen repeated advances in the structure and classification of C*-algebras and C*-dynamical systems. The week long seminar will be devoted to these themes. The target audience is PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, and our objective is to introduce participants to the key ideas and tools. We will focus on instructive special cases and examples, with the aim that participants can use classification theorems and techniques in their own research. Please see the detailed program, recommended reading list and application details on the website of the seminar. Deadline for application: 1 March 2024

This workshop focuses on the role of random matrices in data science, machine learning, and theoretical computer science. The goal is to discuss a number of hot topics in these areas, focusing on recent theoretical progress and the potential pool of applications, in a manner that is accessible to a wide audience, including researchers in data science, electrical engineering, statistics, and numerical analysis.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together early-career mathematicians, to present their latest results, exchange ideas and discuss novel research directions. The workshop is traditionally organized as a two-day event with two parallel sessions: Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory & Topology and Analysis, PDEs & Applied Mathematics. This year, the workshop is sponsored by the European Mathematical Society and will be held at the Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, in Iasi, a culturally-rich area of Romania.

The mission of this traditional summer school is to provide one-week intensive courses on active research topics in probability and statistics, lectured by leading scholars in the field. The school is targeted primarily for doctoral students in probability, statistics, and related areas. Advanced MSc students, fresh postdocs and everyone in the research and applied field are welcome too. Courses Jüri Lember (University of Tartu) Pairwise Markov Models Kostiantyn Ralchenko (Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv) Fractional Vasicek model: Asymptotic properties and statistical inference Roland Speicher (Universität des Saarlandes) Free Probability and Random Matrices Josep Vives (Universitat de Barcelona) Malliavin-Skorohod calculus for additive processes with applications to Finance and Insurance

In a rapidly changing world, understanding the intricate relationships between climate and ecosystems has become more critical than ever. The “Climate-Inclusive Ecosystem Modeling: Understanding the Dynamics of Ecosystems in a Changing World (CIEM-24)” conference seeks to bring together researchers, scientists and stakeholders to explore and discuss cutting-edge approaches in modeling ecosystems, taking into account the profound influence of climate factors. The conference aims to address a wide range of topics, including theoretical ecology, ordinary and partial differential equations, autonomous and non-autonomous dynamical systems, multi-scale modelling, stochastic systems, among others, providing a comprehensive understanding of how climate change affects ecosystems and how ecosystem modeling can be enhanced to incorporate these effects. Participants will delve into the following key areas: 1. Climate-Ecosystem Interactions: Explore the complex interactions between climate parameters and various ecosystems, such as forests, oceans, grasslands, and fresh waters. Understand how climate-induced changes, including temperature shifts, altered precipitation patterns, extreme weather events, and fires impact the structure and functioning of ecosystems, focusing on tipping points and regime shifts. 2. Advancements in Ecosystem Modeling: Showcase the latest advancements in ecosystem modeling techniques, including mathematical models, machine learning, remote sensing, and data-driven approaches. Examine how these models can simulate and predict ecosystem responses to climate change scenarios with greater accuracy and precision. 3. Impacts on Biodiversity and Species Distribution: Analyze the implications of climate change on biodiversity loss, species migration, and habitat alterations. Discuss strategies for preserving vulnerable ecosystems and mitigating potential ecological disruptions. 4. Resilience, Adaptation, and Prevention Strategies: Highlight successful cases of ecosystem resilience and adaptation in the face of climate challenges. Share best practices and innovative solutions that promote ecosystem sustainability and recovery. Model-based solutions to predict fires intensity and propagation. 5. Conservation and Restoration Efforts: Discuss conservation and restoration efforts based on climate-inclusive ecosystem modeling, focusing on ecosystem-based approaches that account for climate dynamics in restoration projects. This conference aims to stimulate vibrant discussions, facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, and promote the development of innovative methodologies and scientific works that consider climate as a pivotal factor in ecosystem dynamics. By uniting diverse perspectives and expertise, this conference endeavors to contribute significantly to the growing body of knowledge addressing the urgent need for sustainable management of ecosystems in an ever-changing world.
