Group Representation Theory is a central area of Algebra, with important and deep connections to areas as varied as topology, algebraic geometry, number theory, Lie theory, homological algebra, and mathematical physics. Born more than a century ago, the area still abounds with basic problems and fundamental conjectures, some of which have been open for over five decades. Very recent breakthroughs have led to the hope that some of these conjectures can finally be settled. In turn, recent results in group representation theory have helped achieve substantial progress in a vast number of applications. The goal of the program is to investigate all these deep problems and the wealth of new results and directions, to obtain major progress in the area, and to explore further applications of group representation theory to other branches of mathematics.

Traditional enumerative geometry asks certain questions to which the expected answer is a number: for instance, the number of lines incident with two points in the plane (1, Euclid), or the number of twisted cubic curves on a quintic threefold (317 206 375). It has however been recognized for some time that the numerics is often just the tip of the iceberg: a deeper exploration reveals interesting geometric, topological, representation-, or knot-theoretic structures. This semester-long program will be devoted to these hidden structures behind enumerative invariants, concentrating on the core fields where these questions start: algebraic and symplectic geometry.

The arrangement of point configurations in metric spaces, whether deterministic or random, is a truly interdisciplinary topic of great interest in mathematics, physics, and computer science. Mathematical aspects involve optimization, discretization of manifolds, best packing and cubature, among others. For physics, such configurations arise in the study of crystallization, point processes connected with random matrices, self-assembling materials, jammed states, hyperuniformity and phase transitions. For computer science, extremal point configurations play a fundamental role in coding and information theory, and lattice-based protocols in cryptography and related computational complexity issues are of growing importance. Furthermore, there has been recent and substantial progress on related age-old problems (such as the Kepler conjecture).

This semester of the Jean-Morlet Chair will feature several events. Firstly, a large conference focusing on the structure of 3-manifold groups, as well as on structures of groups inspired by structures on 3-manifolds—such as PD(3) groups, relatively hyperbolic groups, and building. Secondly, a research school for PhD students and recent post-docs, centering on current research in 3-Manifolds and Geometric Group Theory, and looking at the interplay between the two topics. Thirdly, a medium-size workshop centering on extremely current topics and taking into account Cannon's conjecture and related conjectures, the relation to QIs, CAT(0) boundaries, boundaries of hyperbolic buildings, relatively hyperbolic groups, and rigidity. Masterclasses for local students and Research in Pairs events will also be held during the semester.

The program lies at the juncture of mathematics and theoretical computer science in a quest for quantitative answers to finite-dimensional questions. The program brings together topics from a number of important directions, including discrepancy theory, spectral graph theory, random matrices, geometric group theory, ergodic theory, von Neumann algebras, as well as specific research directions such as the Kadison-Singer problem, the Connes embedding conjecture and the Grothendieck inequality. A very important aspect of the program is its aim to deepen the link between research communities working on some infinite-dimensional functional analysis problems that occur in geometric group theory, ergodic theory, von Neumann algebras; and some quantitative finite-dimensional ones that occur in spectral graph theory, random matrices, combinatorial optimization, and the Kadison-Singer problem.

Recent years have witnessed a renewed interest in mathematical modelling of tumour growth and therapy. This increase in activity in this area has been boosted by enhanced access to data (OMICS, medical imaging) and recent developments in the area of multi-scale modelling. This course is aimed at introducing recent progress in the field of mathematical modelling applied to tumour growth and oncology, particularly focused in the emergence of new modelling and analytical multi-scale techniques and the new opportunities for model validation based on increased availability of data. The course is particularly aimed at an audience composed of graduate students and postdocs in mathematics with an interest in the applications of mathematics to biology.

Symmetry appears as a desirable feature to preserve through numerical computations, as a property to take advantage of in efficiency consideration, or as an organizing principle for computations. In either cases, sophisticated schemes that require group-theoretic foundations have been developed, as the results of research at the frontier of pure mathematics, computer science and applied mathematics. This meeting aims to create new interactions between several different trends of group theoretic approaches in computation. The goal is to bring out the fundamental issues and uncover foundational concepts and results underlying the different methods that shall provide the guiding principles in further developments. The topics will range across Geometric Integration, Symbolic Analysis, Computational Algebraic Geometry, Orthogonal Polynomials and Special Functions but with a focus on the exploitation of symmetry and group theoretic methods.

The goal of this two-day workshop is to bring together the community to discuss recent developments, as well as introduce the field to anyone interested in discovering more about this research area. The program includes invited talks by our plenary speakers, contributed talks by participants and dedicated discussion sessions.

Fluctuation universality classes are a theme in probability. The (1d) KPZ class contains random growth models, directed random polymers, stochastic Hamilton-Jacobi equations (e.g. the eponymous Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, which led to a 2014 Fields medal). It is characterized by unusual fluctuations, some of which appeared earlier in random matrix theory, and which are model independent, but do depend on the initial data, the physical explanation being that on large scales everything approaches a scaling invariant fixed point. But most such fixed points are a complete mystery, and for KPZ there was not even a conjecture. Last year. in joint work with K. Matetski and D. Remenik, we succeeded in solving the most studied discretization of the KPZ equation, TASEP, and passing to the limit to obtain a complete description of the KPZ fixed point. They are a new type of "stochastic integrable system", linearized through a "Brownian scattering transform".

A central goal of the program is to further connections between problems in infinite and finite dimensioQLAWS1_imagenal linear algebra. This workshop will focus on the expected characteristic polynomials of finite-dimensional random matrices, which have played a crucial role in several recent results in this area (including the solution of the Kadison-Singer problem) and seem to offer a middle ground between the two settings. One one hand, their zeros turn out to be related to estimates in asymptotic random matrix theory, von Neumann algebras, and Free Probability theory; on the other hand, they can also be used to control the eigenvalues of the finite random matrices in question, which might come from another area such as spectral graph theory or frame theory.

Cadi Ayyad University and the Moroccan Association of Probability and Statistics organize the 8th edition of "International Workshop on Perspectives On High-dimensional Data Analysis (HDDA-VIII-2018)".This edition will be held in Marrakesh from 9th to 13th April 2018. The technical development is allowing scientist to collect data of increasingly unprecedented size and complexity. Many times this data consist in hundred and thousand observations across subjects (or units) generating massive high-dimensional datasets. Examples include epigenomic data, genomic data, proteomic data, high-resolution image data, high frequency financial data, functional and longitudinal data, and network data.This wealth of information has originated new problems (such as collinearity and high-dimensionality analysis) faced by new statistical development to solve problems such as variable selection, parameter estimation, clustering and prediction.

The packing and covering of equal geometric shapes, such as spheres or convex polyhedra, are classical geometric optimization problems. They have a long mathematical tradition and were for instance part of Hilbert's famous twenty-three problems for the twentieth century. Nevertheless, seemingly simple packing and covering problems are still extremely hard to solve and generally, far from a solution. Likewise, minimal energy problems for pair potentials, of which best-packing is a special case, have many such unresolved questions.

Structures that exhibit a mix of deterministic and chaotic properties, e.g. quasi-crystals, naturally arise in problems of geometry and mathematical physics. Despite intense study, key questions about these structures remain wide open. The conference will focus primarily on questions related to transition from order to chaos in the area of parabolic dynamics. Examples of such are systems of geometric origin like interval exchange maps, translation and Hamiltonian flows on surfaces of higher genus, symbolic substitution systems important in the study of quasi-crystals as well as dynamical systems arising in asymptotic combinatorics and mathematical physics.

In recent years, significant progress has been made in stochastic control and related fields. As work continues on forward-backward stochastic differential equations, new issues on time inconsistency raising in stochastic control have been found. Both the mathematical community and the control engineering community have shown interest in treating mean-field games and mean-field type controls. Computational aspects of stochastic and deterministic controls remain a challenging issue. The idea of the max-plus approach has been much exploited. New computational methods for solving the associated Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) partial differential equations (including solutions for deterministic controls) have also been investigated.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to studying problems in the topology of symplectic four-manifolds by using connections with gauge theory, holomorphic curves, and algebraic geometry. The focus will be on concretely building connections between these areas and symplectic topology while working directly on specific problems in symplectic topology posed throughout the workshop.

The workshop will explore large-N asymptotics of random matrices, in connection with the operator-algebra models of their limiting behavior that appear in free probability theory. The behavior or random matrices has found increasing applications in mathematics, with connections to combinatorics, analysis and probability theory, as well as fields outside mathematics such as physics and computer science. Topics of the workshop include asymptotics behavior of various observables of random single-matrix and multi-matrix models, including behavior of eigenvalues and eigenvectors, as well as connections to properties of operators describing the large-N limit. Of particular emphasis will be links to applications, ranging from graph theory to statistical analysis of data.

Owing to the pressing needs in applications, the research in queuing theory remains a very active area. Innovative ideas using switching diffusions to replace diffusion models have gained ground. Stochastic partial differential equations have also been brought into the research front. Research in networked systems has received much attention through the years. In addition to traditional applications in chemical reaction systems, communication networks, and wireless networks, the areas of networked systems have been evolving rapidly due to recent interests in new areas of research in social networks, cyber-physical systems, and multi-agent systems, among others.

Stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) have been an increasingly active field of research since the late 1960s. As illustrated by Martin Hairer's Fields Medal, obtained in 2014 for developing the theory of regularity structures, SPDEs have now become a central field in mathematics, at the intersection of probability theory and analysis of partial differential equations. SPDEs have many important applications, for instance in condensed matter physics, chemistry, neuroscience, climate modelling, and in financial mathematics. Many very promising advances have been made in recent years, both on a fundamental level, such as existence results for very singular equations, and on an applied level, including quantitative results on the behaviour of solutions and numerical methods. The aim of the workshop is to gather a number of leading international experts of the field, in order to obtain an overall picture of recent progress, and to discuss open problems and future directions.

Our goal in this workshop is to bring together two camps of geometers (birational and arithmetic) who have had few opportunities to interact on a large scale.

The prospect of quantum computers is a threat against the security of currently used public key cryptographic algorithms. Public key cryptosystems including RSA and ECC/HCC will be broken by quantum algorithms. Although large-scale quantum computers do not yet exist, the goal of current research is to develop quantum-resistant cryptosystems. This conference will explore elliptic curve crypto and post-quantum schemes (SIDH), quantum security of current elliptic curve schemes (DLP), and NTRU cryptosystems. In particular we are interested in isogenies-based cryptography. This conference will provide preliminary results on developing fast algorithms and architectures for post-quantum cryptographic computations suitable for emerging embedded systems.

The meeting aims to present some recent developments in diophantine geometry, inviting active researchers to expose their work. Rather than targeting comprehensiveness, we choose to deepen three topical topics, with a more structured program where several talks could be linked together. ​The chosen topics are Galois representation, isogeny, modular curves on one hand and Zilber-Pink conjecture on the other hand, as some opening themes devoted to other related subjects. In the third case, which can be considered on the frontier between Diophantine geometry and so less familiar to the expected audience, the talks should present some basic aspects of the subject before moving on to the most recent advances.

The main objectives of the school are to offer a basic training in the field of waves and particles in random media in the broad sense, as well as to present the state-of-the-art and new directions of research. Waves and particles in random media is a domain of applied mathematics that involves a wide range of topics from various fields, for instance electromagnetics, analysis of partial differential equations, inverse problems, probability and stochastic equations. Besides the wealth of mathematical techniques the topic involves, it also has a profound impact on many practical problems, for instance to medical and radar imaging, underwater acoustics, non-destructive testing and seismology.

Over the past fifteen years, applied topology ​has brought tools​ from traditionally pure areas of mathematics, such as algebraic topology and category theory​, to​ ​applied mathematics​ and statistics, all while guided by applications to data science and engineering.​ Topological Data Analysis (TDA), which provides principled, data-driven model discovery and inference procedures, and Topological Signal Processing (TSP), which provides robust reparametrization-invariant properties of observed spatial and temporal data, are among the most notable recent developments in this line of scientific pursuit.

Recently, non-commutative generalizations of lattices and related structures have seen an upsurge in interest, with new ideas and applications emerging, from quasilattices to skew Heyting algebras. Much of this activity derives in some way from the initiation, thirty years ago, by Jonathan Leech, of a research program into structures based on Pascual Jordan's notion of a non-commutative lattice. The first workshop on non-commutative structures aims to present the breadth of contemporary research in the area, with contributions from international and Slovenian mathematicians. We are delighted that Jonathan Leech has accepted our invitation to deliver the keynote address in this meeting, which will hopefully be the first of many.

This conference is a next in a row of previous meetings on Geometry and Mathematical Physics which took place in Bulgaria-Zlatograd (1995) and annual conferences under the same title in Varna (1998-2017). The overall aim is to bring together experts in Classical and Modern Differential Geometry, Complex Analysis, Mathematical Physics and related fields, to assess recent developments in these areas and to stimulate new investigations and the international collaboration. Principal speakers: Vladimir V. Kisil-The Heisenberg Group and the Group $SL(2,{\mathbb R})$, Ivailo M. Mladenov-The Many Faces of Elastica.

The aim of the conference is to present current progress and future directions on the following interrelated topics, which are of great interest with many new important developments: representation theory of infinite--dimensional Lie algebras, crystal bases/theory, highest--weight categories, representations of current algebras, affine quantum groups, Kirillov-Reshetikhin modules and their characters, cluster theory, KLR algebras, R-matrices, knot invariants, and categorifications.

In real life situations, most decisions are made in a dynamic context in the sense that multi-period decisions influence the final outcomes. The games of "chess" and "go" are simple examples. The main aim of this program is to study game theory, mechanism design and matching in a dynamic context. First, for dynamic games with complete or incomplete information, while much is known for the case of finitely many actions, extensions to the case with infinite actions or with uncertainty are often considerably more difficult and some of them remain unsolved. Second, as a sort of reverse game theory, mechanism design aims to design particular games to achieve efficient outcomes or to maximize the revenues. A typical example is auction. To consider mechanism design in dynamic environments, novel tools beyond those used in the static problems need to be developed. Third, matching theory describes the formation of mutually beneficial relationships such as trading partnership, job placement, and marriage. The evolution of such relationships over time plays an important role in various models and much remains to be explored.

Many ecological and biological applications require indepth studies and analysis of the underlying control problems involved. This in turn calls for new mathematical models and the use of sophisticated mathematical tools. Recent research promotes the use of geometric control theory and the combined use of stochastic analysis and differential geometry. For example, the study on infectious disease has a long and illustrated history that goes back to the malaria outbreak in the early twentieth century that led to the development of compartmental models in epidemiology. The recent outbreak of the Zika virus adds new demand for people working in mathematical epidemiology. This workshop will bring together scientists from both theoretical research and data analysis.

The Geometric Measure Theory and its Connections Conference at the University of Helsinki, 4 - 8 June 2018, focuses on recent developments and breakthroughs in geometric measure theory, with emphasis on connections to adjacent fields, in particular harmonic analysis and dynamical systems. The aim is to bring together international experts in these fields, to foster exchange of ideas and collaboration. Topics include: geometric measure theory in Euclidean and non-Euclidean spaces, rectifiability and harmonic analysis, Kakeya problems, fractals and dynamical systems. The versatile programme of plenary talks is complemented by a a poster session and five contributed talks and that will be selected among the applications, with preference given to young researchers.

The objectives of the conference are to review and discuss some of the latest trends in various fields of applied mathematics. In particular, the conference will emphasize on the topics in Fluid Mechanics, Large Data, Wave and Computation, Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids. During the conference, the winner of the William Benter Prize in Applied Mathematics 2018 will also be announced. The Prize laureate will attend the award ceremony and present a lecture about his/her work.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together mathematicians working in the field of moduli spaces of geometric and algebraic structures which might be related to mathematical aspects of quantization.

The problem of decomposing a function into a sum of simply structured functions is a classical area of research in Analysis. Exciting recent progress, e.g. the solution to the Kadison-Singer problem, results about exponential frames and Riesz bases in various settings, and results about orthogonal exponential bases for convex polytopes, has re-energized discussion in this area, opened new directions for study, and turned it into an even more active and fruitful area for research. The goal of this workshop is to discuss such new developments in this area. In particular, the workshop will focus on problems regarding exponential systems in weighted spaces and the Fuglede conjecture.

The principal lecturer is David A. Cox, the William J. Walker Professor of Mathematics at Amherst College. Professor Cox will lecture on the study of polynomial systems via methods of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, including 1) a history of results underpinning computational methods in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra; 2) modern computational approaches to solving polynomial systems and recent advances; and 3) a selection of current applications, with an eye toward helping participants solve their own applied problems. Specific lecture pair topics will include Elimination Theory, Polynomial Systems in the Real World, Geometric Modeling, Geometric Constraint Theory, and Chemical Reaction Networks. Supplementary conference activities will include a poster session, a software demonstration, a panel discussion, and a problem session designed to help new researchers enter the field through active participation.

A series of ten lectures by Professor Palle Jorgensen from the University of Iowa, a leader in the fields of smooth and non-smooth harmonic analysis. The conference aims to demonstrate surprising connections between the two domains of geometry and Fourier spectra. In addition to the 10 lectures by Jorgensen, there will be other invited speakers. There is a recent and increasing interest in understanding the harmonic analysis of non-smooth geometries, typically fractal like. They are unlike the familiar smooth Euclidean geometry. In the non-smooth case, nearby points are not locally connected to each other. Real-world examples where these types of geometry appear include large computer networks, relationships in datasets, and fractal structures such as those found in crystalline substances, light scattering, and other natural phenomena where dynamical systems are present.

This summer school is designed to introduce graduate students and other young researchers to modern topics in Lie Theory, and allow them to meet and interact with other young researchers as well as more senior researchers.

Participants are encouraged to state open problems and summarize techniques which might be used to investigate such problems. The previous three conferences were held at the same location in June 2002, May 2007, and June 2012.

The interdisciplinary field of imaging science is experiencing tremendous growth. New devices capable of imaging objects and structures from nanoscale to the astronomical scale are continuously being developed and improved, and as result, the reach of science and medicine has been extended in exciting and unexpected ways. The impact of this technology has been to generate new challenges associated with the problems of formation, acquisition, compression, transmission, and analysis of images. By their very nature, these challenges cut across the disciplines of physics, engineering, mathematics, biology, medicine, and statistics. While the primary purpose of this conference is to focus on mathematical issues, the other facets of imaging, such as biomedical and engineering aspects, for example, will also play an important role.

The invited speakers include: Norbert A'Campo, Joern Ellegaard Andersen, Gourab Battachariya, François Costantino , Dale Husemoller, Toshikate Kohno, Gwenael Massuyeau, Nadya Morozova, Hugo Parlier, Robert C.

A large part of them will be survey talks intended for a general audience. Graduate students and young mathematicians are welcome. Registration is free of charge but the potential participants are asked to register by sending an email to the organizer, Athanase Papadopoulos, papadop@math.unistra.fr

This conference has been held annually since 1978, and is considered to be the premier conference of its type by members of the real analysis community. The Symposium will visit Russia for the first time this summer! We have defined real analysis in a wide manner which encompasses trigonometric series, many parts of harmonic analysis as well as parts of dynamical systems, measure theory, the traditional theory of integration and properties of sets and functions. The goals of the Symposium are to provide a forum for researchers to present their newest results, and to provide ample time for participants to collaborate.

Theoretical aspects of applied mathematical research on nonlinear waves and coherent structures are relevant to subjects as diverse as general relativity, high-energy particle and plasma physics, fluid and solid mechanics, nonlinear electrical circuits, Bose-Einstein condensation, nonlinear optics, random media, atmosphere and ocean dynamics, chemical reactions, and biology. Remarkable agreement between theory and experiments can be claimed in many of these fields. The goals of the conference are to provide a forum for the development of mathematical methods and tools, to foster cross-fertilization among different fields of application, and most crucially to enable communication between the mathematicians who build the theory and the scientists who use it. The conference program will consist of presentations on subjects ranging from basic mathematical research to concrete applications.

The conference will be held at California State University, Sacramento from June 11th to June 15th, 2018 and will include 40 presenters covering a range of topics related to the intersection of vertex operator algebras, number theory, and conformal field theory. This will include topics such as Lie algebras, modular and other automorphic forms, quantum groups, representation theory, group theory, and theoretical physics, as well as applications of these areas. Due to the rapidly changing landscape of these fields, and in particular, their intersection with theoretical physics, this conference serves as a timely and important opportunity for the research community to share and disseminate knowledge in order to advance new research developments. An important theme that will be highlighted is the interplay between the theory of VOAs and automorphic forms.

The aim of this one-week school is to bring PhD students and recent post-docs up-to-date on current research happening in Geometric Group Theory and 3-manifolds.

The series of European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) conferences are devoted to enforce the interaction between academy and industry, leading to innovations in both fields. These events have attracted leading experts from business, science and academia, and have promoted the application of novel mathematical technologies to industry. We hope that ECMI 2018 will further enhance multidisciplinary research and development both in academia and industry, leading to the formulation of challenging real-life problems, where mathematics may provide significant new insights and at the same time may be inspired by those interactions.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the qualitative behaviour of some nonlocal equations, mainly stemming from collective behavior models and kinetic theory.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together a large community of active mathematicians in order to discuss the newest developments relating three areas of modern mathematics: gauge theory, complex algebraic and analytic geometry, and arithmetic. These mathematical disciplines have been strongly interacting in the domain of vector bundles on complex algebraic and analytic varieties, especially on curves. The workshop will be part of the renowned VBAC (Vector Bundles on Algebraic Curves) series of annual conferences, launched in 1994. Topics will include Gauge theory and Langlands duality, Gauge theory and generalized geometry, Coupled Kähler-Yang-Mills equations, Strominger equations and Calabi-Yau manifolds, Moduli spaces of (coupled) holomorphic bundles on non-algebraic complex manifolds, and Moduli spaces of real vector bundles, as well as further topics related to vector bundles on algebraic curves.

This meeting will be loosely structured around the Brauer Group and related topics. As at previous Brauer Group meetings, the emphasis will be on having junior faculty and graduate students as well as some senior researchers give formal talks on their research in an informal setting. Research topics vary widely, but are all connected in some way with the Brauer Group. This unifying theme with broad reach into the algebra, number theory and algebraic geometry communities gives junior and senior faculty alike the opportunity to both learn new aspects of the theory, meet new colleagues and collaborate with established members of the group. In the tradition of past Pingree Park Brauer group meetings, we are happy to welcome families, graduate students and young researchers, and hope to provide ample time to informally discuss mathematics and explore the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

This international congress aims to bring together academicians, researchers and scientists for knowledge sharing in Fundamental and applied sciences areas as follows: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Mathematical applications of Engineering, Statistics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and applications in these areas, Engineering Applications and Multidisciplinary researchers.

The abstract of accepted presentation will be published in the conference abstract book. Selected and peer review papers will be included in a book of proceedings and to be published in special issues of the international journals.

Fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) are emerging as a powerful tool for modeling challenging multiscale phenomena including overlapping microscopic and macroscopic scales. Compared to integer-order PDEs, the fractional order of the derivatives in FPDEs may be a function of space and time or even a distribution, opening up great opportunities for modeling and simulation of multi-physics phenomena, e.g. seamless transition from wave propagation to diffusion, or from local to nonlocal dynamics. In addition, data-driven fractional differential operators may be constructed to fit data from a particular experiment or specific phenomenon, including the effect of uncertainties. FPDEs lead to a paradigm shift, according to which data-driven fractional operators may be constructed to model a specific phenomenon instead of the current practice of tweaking free parameters that multiply pre-set integer-order differential operators.

This conference will feature 10 lectures by Professor Darren Crowdy of Imperial College London. He is a Royal Society Research Fellow (Wolfson Merit Award) and an Established Career Fellow of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council in the United Kingdom. In 2004 he won the Philip Leverhulme Prize in Mathematics for his work on constructing exact solutions to a variety of nonlinear free boundary problems in fluid mechanics by recognizing the significance of the theory of quadrature domains; in 2009 he was awarded the international "CMFT Young Investigator Prize" (awarded only once every 4 years) for his derivation of the multiply connected Schwarz-Christoffel formula. He started the ACCA (Applied Complex and Computational Analysis) network, which links researchers in the UK, Brazil and Japan, and has co-organized meetings in the field of applications of complex analysis. His work has been featured in the Times of London and other places.

The summer school, Mean Field Games and Applications, will be a series of lectures that aims to introduce graduate students and postdocs to this recently accessible and fast growing area. The main goals of the summer school are: (i) To introduce students and postdocs to Mean Field Games and certain cognate areas through lectures by leading researchers; (ii) To make available to the wider mathematical community a series of broad-interest talks on mean field games; (iii) To provide a collaborative environment that is welcoming to underrepresented minorities and women and which brings scientists together with trainees from varied backgrounds.

The Michigan summer school on random matrices is motivated by the observation that there are several (often) non-overlapping techniques used in random matrix theory. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for graduate students (and postdocs) to learn these different techniques and acquire the background necessary to understand how/when/where they can/have/should be applied for understanding the properties of random matrices. We expect students to have some basic working knowledge on random matrix theory (e.g. they know what a GOE ensemble is and what the semi-circle law describes.) We hope that the summer school provides a venue where, for example, a student already familiar with the orthogonal polynomial method for RMT can learn about how Stieltjes transform techniques are used, and so on. We have asked the lecturers to make each course self-contained and cover the necessary basic materials at the level of a first and second year graduate school student.

The CIRM 2018 conference on Probability and Biological Evolution will bring new progress in these synergistic activities. The themes of the meeting will be: evolution of structured populations in genetics and ecology; gene trees, species trees and the origins of biodiversity; random genealogies in interaction: selection, competition, recombination; viral and bacterial evolution; cancer modeling and tumor growth. The meeting will bring together distinguished experts at the interface of probability theory and evolutionary biology, and will fit in the "Year of Mathematical Biology 2018".

The objective of the conference is to bring together scientists with interests in the theoretical, applied, and computational aspects of hyperbolic partial differential equations (systems of hyperbolic conservation laws, wave equations, etc.) and of related mathematical models (PDEs of mixed type, kinetic equations, nonlocal or/and discrete models, etc.). The conference was first held 1986 in St. Etienne (France) and has been organized since then biennially at different locations. The last few meetings were held at: 2016 Aachen (Germany), 2014 Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), 2012 Padua (Italy), 2010 Beijing (China), 2008 College Park (U.S.A.), 2006 Lyon (France). The conference consists of forty-five-minute plenary lectures and forty-five-minute invited lectures held in parallel, and of sessions of twenty-minute-contributed talks on various topics related to hyperbolic equations. As has been done in the past, special effort will be made to provide partial funding to young scientists to enable them to attend.

This workshop aims to bring together mathematicians working at the crossroads of analysis, geometry and probability. More and more problems require solutions that invlove ingredients from these different fields, and this workshop will provide an opportunity for sharing novel techniques.

A diffiety is a geometrical object that properly formalizes the concept of the solution space of a given system of (nonlinear) PDEs, much as an algebraic variety does with respect to solutions of a given system of algebraic equations. Secondary Calculus is a natural diffiety analogue of the standard calculus on smooth manifolds, and as such leads to a very rich general theory of nonlinear PDEs. Moreover, it appears to be a natural language for quantum physics, just as the standard calculus is the natural language for classical physics.

The theory, algorithms, and software of linear algebra are familiar tools across mathematics, the applied sciences, and engineering. This ubiquity of linear algebra masks a fairly recent growth of nonlinear algebra in mathematics and its applications to other disciplines. The proliferation of nonlinear algebra has been fueled by recent theoretical advances, efficient implementations of core algorithms, and an increased awareness of these tools. The benefits of this nonlinear theory and its tools are manifold. Pushing computational boundaries has led to the development of new mathematical theories, such as homotopy methods for numerical algebraic geometry, tropical geometry and toric deformations, and sums of squares methods for polynomial optimization. This uncovered many concrete nonlinear mathematical objects and questions, many of which are ripe for computer experimentation.

The aim of this workshop is to gather applied mathematicians and researchers from other scientific fields working on the development of efficient numerical methods to sample high dimensional and multimodal probability measures. The design of such algorithms is becoming more and more pregnant in many fields of applications. We have particularly in mind molecular simulation where scientists are interested in models of matter at the atomistic level. With the development of large-scale computing facilities, simulations of materials at the molecular scale are now performed on a daily basis. There is a need to further develop the rigorous mathematical analysis of the numerical methods used in this field, in order to assess the accuracy of these techniques, to improve them, and to propose new approaches. Applications also concern Bayesian inference in computational statistics, where the complexity increases as the size of data sets increases.

This workshop will focus on core algorithms in the three crucial areas in nonlinear algebra: numerical algebraic geometry, symbolic computation, and combinatorial methods. There have been tremendous advances in algorithms in these areas. As applications become more sophisticated, and require more computing resources, the basic algorithms and implementations need to step up to match the demand from applications. This workshop will bring together experts to exchange ideas on new algorithms that are needed and on improvement of existing ones. It will incite collaboration on hybrid algorithms involving computational methods from the three areas. Examples of open problems to be addressed include: certification of numerical methods, and combining numerical, symbolic and combinatorial methods to allow a much larger reach for decomposition algorithms.

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the mathematics of Boltzmann machines. Researchers have been employing tools in information theory, algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and optimization to understand these models.

A conference on the occasion of Professor Franc Forstneric's 60th Birthday, "Stein Manifolds and Holomorphic Mappings," will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, from September 17th to September 21st, 2018.

Large data sets are increasingly being ingested (e.g., in data assimilation) and produced (e.g., in uncertainty quantification) by traditional simulations. Important questions that emerge are: What experience from traditional simulations is transferable to newly emerging big data applications? Conversely, what new optimal algorithms will emerge that are motivated by data intensive applications being pushed to large scales? How will they enrich traditional simulations?

This masterclass school aims at introducing novel and state-of-the art algorithmic and inferential tools, from advanced algorithms (Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC), synthetic likelihood, indirect inference, noisy and consensus Monte Carlo, Langevin diffusion subsampling, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, sequential and asynchronous methods) to inference techniques for large data sets (synthetic likelihood, indirect and non-parametric inference, pseudolikelihood, variational approaches, automatic selection of summaries).

A host of new diseases, like HIV/AIDS, BSE, Avian Flu, West Nile Virus and others have appeared on the scene during the last twenty five years and undoubtedly, more will come in the coming years. To tackle these illnesses, the cooperation of modelers, mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and others, and of researchers from the medical community is absolutely essential. Modeling is important because it gives important insight into the method of treatment. In the case of HIV/AIDS, for example, mathematical modeling indicated that a combination of both protease inhibitors and reverse transcriptase inhibitors would be far more effective than any one of these two drugs. The purpose of this conference is to bring all the people working in the area of epidemiology under one roof and encourage mutual interaction.
