Special year on p-adic arithmetic geometry
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
During the 2023-24 academic year the School will have a special program on the p -adic arithmetic geometry, organized by Jacob Lurie and Bhargav Bhatt, who will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.
The last decade has witnessed some remarkable foundational advances in p-adic arithmetic geometry (e.g., the creation of perfectoid geometry and the ensuing reorganization of p-adic Hodge theory). These advances have already led to breakthroughs in multiple different areas of mathematics (e.g., significant progress in the Langlands program and the resolution of multiple long-standing conjectures in commutative algebra), have uncovered new phenomena that merit further investigation (e.g., the discovery of new structures on algebraic K-theory, new period spaces in p-adic analytic geometry, and new bounds on torsion in singular cohomology), and have made hitherto inaccessible terrains more habitable (e.g., birational geometry in mixed characteristic). This special year intends to bring together a mix of people interested in various facets of the subject, with an eye towards sharing ideas and questions across fields.

International Conference on L-functions and Automorphic Forms
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
This conference is devoted to the areas of L-functions and autmorphic forms. In particular, it focusses on the interactions between both fields, which have a long and fruitful history since the fundamental work by Hecke about 90 years ago. The topics will focus on new developments around the areas indicated in the title, as well as establishing and furthering dialogue on new developments at the boundary of these areas. Given the ubiquity of automorphic forms throughout number theory as well as their strong interaction with the field of L-functions, it is very reasonable to expect that both areas will benefit from each other in the future as well. It is likely that this would lead to ideas more broadly useful in other areas of pure mathematics as well as to new types of objects to inspect and new structural questions within both fields.
The Ceresa Cycle in Arithmetic and Geometry
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
In the 1980s, Ceresa exhibited one of the first naturally occurring examples of an algebraic cycle, the Ceresa cycle, that 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.

Current Trends in Kähler Metrics with Special Curvature Properties
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: Vestislav Apostolov, Julien Keller, Julius Ross, Eleonora Di Nezza
Description
The scientific root of this workshop goes back to the seminal works of E. Calabi in the 1950s, who proposed to find a canonical Kähler metric, called extremal, representing a cohomology class of a compact Kähler manifold. Calabi showed that in this setting, the search for extremal Kähler metrics can be reduced to solving a non-linear PDE. A particular example of extremal Kähler metrics are the celebrated Kähler-Einstein metrics whose existence theory is now settled, starting with the resolution of Calabi’s famous conjecture by Aubin and Yau in the 1970s (the non-obstructed case), and culminating in recent times with the resolution of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson (YTD) conjecture in the obstructed Fano case. These efforts motivated a general YTD correspondence, which predicts that the existence of special Kähler metrics should be expressed in terms of a suitable complex-analytic/algebraic notion of stability of the underlying complex/projective variety.
Many partial results on such general YTD correspondences have been obtained recently in various special cases. For instance, the existence of a constant scalar curvature Kähler metric on a smooth toric variety is now settled whereas the log Fano case has been tackled recently, notably via weighted versions of Kähler-Ricci solitons. Another challenging direction of active current research consists of finding computable or even algorithmic criteria for algebraic stability (or for the existence of special Kähler metrics) on a given manifold, for example as in the recent works in the case of spherical varieties. Finally, the existence of special Kähler metrics or, equivalently, the corresponding stability notions, are expected to give the right tool for defining a good moduli space of polarized varieties.

This conference aims to highlight strong mathematical research in a wide array of topics in algebraic geometry, broadly defined. The conference will feature some plenary talks by world-leading researchers from a range of areas of algebraic geometry. To facilitate new connections across the various threads of algebraic geometry, plenary talks at Spec(Q¯(2πi)) will be aimed at a general algebro-geometric audience.
Algebraic K-theory and Brauer groups
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
Algebraic geometry is the field of mathematics which concerns the study of spaces cut out by polynomial equations. This workshop concern the interaction of two important objects in algebraic geometry - the K-groups and the Brauer group. In algebraic geometry, we study spaces via invariants - the procedure of attaching simpler, more "linear" objects to these spaces in the hope of extracting information about them. Both the K-groups and Brauer group are such examples which have had an excellent track record in being both powerful and accessible at the same time. Roughly speaking, the K-groups are built out from \emph{vector bundles} on such a space - a continuous assignment of vector spaces on each point of the space. On the other hand the Brauer groups are built from "twisted" vector bundles.
Both invariants have had a history of interaction and cross-pollination and the goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers in both areas to share their research and pave the way for even more fruitful interaction in the future. We are particularly excited about the prospect of new, field-driving questions to come out from this workshop.

Recent Progress on Hilbert’s 12th Problem
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
Hilbert’s twelfth problem asks for explicit constructions of the abelian extensions of a given number field, similar to what is known for the rational numbers and for imaginary quadratic fields. These abelian extensions are known as class fields because their Galois groups are identified with certain generalized ideal class groups. In the two known cases, the class fields are obtained via the adjunction of roots of unity and of torsion points on elliptic curves with complex multiplication. These are special values of complex analytic functions – the exponential function and elliptic functions with complex multiplication. Hilbert may have envisioned the use of special values of complex analytic functions to construct class fields of more general base fields.
In the 1970s, Harold Stark proposed a strikingly original approach to the generation of class fields, based on his conjectures on the leading term of Artin L-functions at s = 0 [St75]. In the case of abelian L-functions with a simple zero at s = 0, Stark predicted that the first derivative was the logarithm of a unit in the respective class field [St76], so exponentiating this derivative would give a generator for the abelian extension. In the two known cases, this reduced to the theory of circular and elliptic units, thanks to Dirichlet’s analytic class number formula and Kronecker’s limit formula. Although there is now extensive computational evidence that Stark’s conjecture is correct, there has been little progress on its solution.
In the 1980s Benedict Gross formulated some p-adic [Gr82] and tame [Gr88] analogues of Stark’s conjectures, which gave more information on the p-adic expansions of the conjectural units. Since the p adic L-functions involved in Gross’s conjecture are related to certain Galois modules via the main conjecture in Iwasawa theory, these conjectures have proved more amenable than their complex analogs. Refinements of the Gross-Stark conjecture were proposed in [DD06], and the p-adic conjectures of [Gr82] was proved in [DDP11]. This line of argument has culminated in the recent work of Samit Dasgupta and Mahesh Kakde [DKa], [DKb] which, by proving a large part of the conjectures of [Gr88] (along with the refinement [DD06] of the conjectures of [Gr82] in the broader setting of totally real fields) leads to a p−adic solution to Hilbert’s twelfth problem for this large class of fields.
The goal of this workshop is to take stock of this striking recent development and of other progress around the theme of related approaches to explicit class field theory. The key to much of the progress over the years is the careful study of p-adic and tame deformations of modular forms, most notably, of Hilbert modular Eisenstein series. The p-adic interpolation of classical Eisenstein series was introduced by Jean-Pierre Serre [Se72] to study the congruences of special values of L-functions and the construction of p-adic L-functions for totally real fields, and was further developed by Barry Mazur and Andrew Wiles in their proof of the main conjecture of Iwasawa theory [MW84]. The workshop will focus on the breakthroughs in [DKa] and [DKb], with a lecture series by the two authors forming the cornerstone of the activity.

p-adic Families of Automorphic Forms: Theories and Applications
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: see conference website
Description
The idea of p-adic families of automorphic forms grew out of work of Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer in the 70s exploring congruences between the q-expansion coefficients of modular forms. Work of Hida, Coleman and Mazur made the investigation of p-adic families one of the central topics in the arithmetic of modular forms. In the following decades there were striking applications to the construction of p-adic L-functions, Iwasawa theory and modularity of Galois representations.
One powerful organising principle has been to parametrize p-adic modular forms (or, more generally, p-adic automorphic forms) by p-adic analytic spaces known as eigenvarieties (or eigencurves, in the one-dimensional case originally considered by Coleman and Mazur). Our understanding of the geometry of eigenvarieties and their relationship to moduli spaces of Galois representations has rapidly developed, but there are still many important open questions.
An overarching objective of this meeting will be to bring together people working on the different theories of p-adic automorphic forms and various applications (or potential applications). We hope that this will inspire new collaborations and insights.

Uniformity and Stability of Oscillatory Integrals
Meeting Type: summer school
Contact: see conference website
Description
Because of the ubiquity of Fourier analysis, oscillatory integrals are present in many techniques in both harmonic analysis and analytic number theory. Current state-of-the-art methods in both fields are pushing beyond classical methods because of increased importance of understanding the uniformity and stability of the estimates. In addition, researchers are uncovering unifying ideas that span the (traditionally somewhat separated areas) of oscillatory integrals in the setting of analysis, and character sums in number theory. Recent work on estimating oscillatory integrals have even applied model theory, from logic.
This summer school will give participants an introduction on the classical methods for estimating oscillatory integrals and explain current cutting-edge developments. Throughout, the lectures will view these problems through a lens of understanding the uniformity and stability of the estimates.

Colombian Encounter of Tropical and Non-archimedean Geometry
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: Pablo Cubides
Description
Tropical geometry is a piece-wise linear geometry which merges ideas from algebraic, symplectic and non-archimedean geometry with tools from combinatorics and convex geometry. Via the process of tropicalization, classical varieties and geometric problems can be connected to the tropical world and, in some cases, solved there. In non-archimedean geometry, the valuation on the underlying field makes the idea of tropicalization particularly natural and powerful. In recent years, this connection has received much attention and exhibited links to diverse topics such as Hodge theory, mirror symmetry and the study of zeta functions. The main goal of this event is to introduce students and young mathematicians to these exciting topics and to foster and strengthen the connections between local researchers and the international mathematical community.
The school will introduce the participants to tropical and non-archimedean geometry via two minicourses given by Ilia Itenberg (Sorbonne Université) and Marco Maculan (Sorbonne Université). Additionally, in the research talks we will explore the latest developments in the field. We hope that this school can serve as the starting point for a local network of researchers and students and therefore can be continued in the coming years by follow-up events of a similar type.

Here, number theory is interpreted broadly, including algebraic and analytic number theory, Galois theory and inverse Galois problems, arithmetic of curves and higher-dimensional varieties, zeta and L-functions and their special values, and modular forms and functions. Considerable attention is paid to computational issues, but the emphasis is on aspects that are of interest to the pure mathematician.
Because of limited space, participation is by invitation only.

Building Bridges: 6th EU/US Summer School and Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics (BB6)
Meeting Type: summer school and conference
Contact: Jim Brown
Description
Automorphic forms are present in almost all areas of modern number theory. Over the past few decades, there has been an explosion of activity and progress in this vast field, leading to exciting new directions of research, new applications, and connections to other fields. The Building Bridges conferences are a central element in this evolution of the subject. The Building Bridges conference is an international biennial event, the 2024 edition will be the sixth. These meetings, which last two weeks, consist of a summer school, followed by a one-week workshop. Each summer school consists of three 2-day mini-courses, taught by teams of internationally renowned researchers. The courses are given by pairs of teachers- made up of a European and an American researcher, giving meaning to the idea of a bridge between the research carried out in the two continents. The workshop is organized in a very dynamic way and is well known and well received by the experts. The format of the conference is special: there are no guest speakers, but the time is shared equally between all speakers, following the advice of the scientific committee. The objective is to promote young researchers by giving them the same time to present their research as experienced scientists in the field. There will also be several awareness round tables on themes of social interest.
Number Theory in the Americas 2
Meeting Type: collaborative research workshop
Contact: see conference website
Description
In 2019, the organizers created a workshop called Number Theory in the Americas, which brought together junior and senior mathematicians from North, Central, and South America, to work together on research projects. The workshop resulted in at least seven publications, and served as a first collaboration experience for many of the junior researchers. The organizers propose to create a follow-up workshop in order to provide collaboration opportunities for the PhD students and postdocs who were too young to participate the last time. The workshop will be held in Spanish in order to erase the additional obstacle of communicating in English. We will welcome native and non-native speakers alike.
Our workshop is modeled after several other workshops that have been successful at fostering mathematical collaboration. Participants will be divided into small project groups (3-5 participants) containing a mix of junior and senior researchers. Each group will be led by one or two senior mathematicians. Project groups will be assigned based on research area, with care taken to ensure that each group contains researchers from both continents who have not previously worked together. Background reading will be sent to project group members several months in advance so that they are prepared to work on their respective problems together when they arrive in Oaxaca. The bulk of the workshop will be devoted to working in the project groups, but there will be introductory talks on the first day and final reports on the last day. There will also be panel discussions on topics of particular interest to junior researchers. The expectation is not that each project group will write a paper by the end of the week. Rather, it is meant to be an opportunity to exchange ideas and a starting point for potential future collaboration.

CIRM Thematic Month: Singularities, differential equations, and transcendence
Meeting Type: conferences
Contact: see conference website
Description
This Thematic Month aims to cover topics related to singularity theory of algebraic or analytic spaces, algebraic study of differential equations, and their applications to questions of transcendence. This 5-week program covers different themes that are often not closely related. One of the main objectives is to make them interact. To encourage participants (especially the youngest ones) to attend the entire month and foster interactions outside each one’s expertise zone, the scientific program of each week of the month will consist of courses accessible to non-experts, as well as more specialized presentations. This month will consist of five successive weeks: – Logarithmic and non-archimedean methods in Singularity Theory. The first week will focus on recent results based on methods in logarithmic geometry and non-archimedean geometry in singularity theory. – Foliations, birational geometry and applications. The second week will cover topics in birational geometry, including singularity resolution, MMP (Minimal Model Program), algebraic foliation theory, and local holomorphic dynamics. – Tame Geometry. The third week will address tame geometry in various forms: o-minimality, transseries, Hardy fields, non-archimedean analogs of tame geometry, and their applications to number theory. – Galois differential Theories and transcendence. The fourth week is devoted to differential Galois theory and its applications to questions of functional transcendence and number theory, as well as the study of periods and E and G-functions. – Enumerative combinatorics and effective aspects of differential equations. The last week is dedicated to enumerative combinatorics and certain effective aspects of differential equations, especially applications in enumerative combinatorics of techniques presented in the previous week, or as effective results on topics covered in the preceding weeks.

Analysis on homogeneous spaces and operator algebras
Meeting Type: conference
Contact: Haluk Sengun
Description
Harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces is a fundamental area of research that simultaneously generalizes classical harmonic analysis on groups and on Riemannian symmetric spaces. It naturally relates to many areas of mathematics, playing a central role in representation theory and the theory of automorphic forms.
This workshop will be an occasion to introduce recent developments in some of these areas. It will also aim to explore new connections between them and extend the fruitful interactions between C*-algebras, harmonic analysis and representation theory beyond the classical setting of groups to the general setting of homogeneous spaces.
Topics will include:
- C*-algebraic approaches to the tempered dual of non-Riemannian symmetric spaces;
- Harmonic analysis and Plancherel theory for spherical spaces;
- Connections with the Langlands program and periods of automorphic forms;
- Recent approaches to the theta correspondence via C*-algebras

Special Year on Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and O-minimality
Meeting Type: thematic program
Contact: see conference website
Description
During the 2025-26 academic year the School will have a special program on Arithmetic Geometry, Hodge Theory, and O-minimality. Jacob Tsimerman, University of Toronto will be the Distinguished Visiting Professor.
The purpose of this special year will focus on recent developments in hodge theory and o-minimality and their applications to arithmetic geometry. There has been much progress over the last 15 years in using transcendental uniformization maps to study arithmetic questions (general shafarevich theorems, results on unlikely intersections, general bounds on rational point counts). It has become increasingly clear that hodge theory (both classical and P-adic) and the resulting period maps form a natural home for these kinds of investigations to arise. In the other direction, O-minimality has been applied with success to make progress on questions in Hodge theory (Griffiths conjecture, definable period maps), and has recently had its own explosion of results (sharply O-minimal sets, the resolution of Wilkie's conjecture).
The goal of this year will be to bring together researchers in these different fields, with the aim of extending the collaboration between areas, share key insights, and investigate how far existing methods can be pushed.
