Interacting particle systems are Markov chains involving infinitely many mutually interacting components. Apart from the obvious connection to statistical physics, since the conception of the field in the 1970s, interacting particle systems such as the well-known voter model and contact process have also been used to model biological populations. An alternative way of studying these biologically motivated systems is to determine the state of individuals living at a given time by tracing their ancestors, or potential ancestors, backwards in time. The collection of all (potential) ancestors with their relationships forms a random network that is called the genealogy of the interacting particle system. There is a close connection to real genealogies of biological populations and questions about the latter, such as what are the effects of population dynamic and evolutionary mechanisms on genealogical trees, continue to stimulate the development of more theoretical topics, such as the theor

The aim of the school is to introduce research topics in the main streams of algebraic geometry and commutative algebra to young researchers and PhD students, and encourage them to collaborate in teams leaded by well-known mathematicians. To reach this aim, an educational-research school will be organized for a period of two weeks in IASBS. After some intensive courses on special topics, participants will be divided into groups and start work and research on some proposed related problems. These collaborations will be continued after the schools. The topic of monomial ideals and algebras, as a subject of commutative algebra, homological algebra, combinatorics and geometry will be investigated from several points of view. The common point will be reaching to understand the behavior of monomials when the corresponding ideal or algebra has special properties.

For example, recently nonstandard methods have proven useful in problems about configurations of sumsets in sets of positive density as well as partition regularity of equations. Our aim is to continue to explore these and other directions leading to a greater understanding of the role that nonstandard methods could play in this area of combinatorics.

The International Workshop on Operator Theory and its Applications (IWOTA) was started in 1981 to bring together mathematicians and engineers working in operator theory. Meanwhile it is the annual main event in the field. IWOTA gathers leading experts from all over the world for an intense exchange of new results and for tracing the future developments in the field. The IWOTA meetings provide opportunities for participants (including young researchers) to present their own work in invited and contributed talks and to interact with other researchers from around the globe. In addition, the IWOTA emphasizes cross-disciplinary interaction among mathematicians, electrical engineers, and mathematical physicists. The organizers of the IWOTA 2017 are Albrecht Boettcher, Daniel Potts, and Peter Stollmann. The Proceedings of the workshop will be published by Birkhauser.

This workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers focused on the development of novel computational and theoretical results of the type necessary for the advancement of large-scale phaseless imaging capabilities. Special attention will be paid to the development and analysis of practically realizable measurement constructions. In particular: (i) measurement constructions relevant to Ptychography (a modern molecular imaging modality suitable for imaging large molecules efficiently), which is not currently well understood theoretically; (ii) auto-calibration techniques capable of bridging the gap between provably accurate measurement designs and practical implementation of such measurements; (iii) fast and provably accurate numerical methods capable of solving large scale phase retrieval problems with realistic measurement ensembles.

Hierarchical Bayesian methods for modeling spatial and space-time data constitute an important topical area of research in the statistical sciences, with a wide range of applications. However, the explosive growth in all areas of spatial and spatio-temporal modeling has produced a massive body of literature which can impose a steep entry barrier into the field. This conference will provide a comprehensive review of Bayesian methods for spatial statistics by a highly distinguished statistician who has contributed foundational research in the field over the past twenty years, Alan E. Gelfand, J.B. Duke Professor of Statistics and Decision Sciences, Duke University. Professor Gelfand will deliver ten two-hour lectures. In addition to the lectures, three invited speakers will deliver complementary two-hour lectures. These are Sudipto Banerjee (University of CA, Los Angeles), Michele Guindani (University of CA, Irvine) and Christopher Paciorek (University of CA, Berkeley).

The workshop is devoted to problems revolving around extension of smooth functions belonging to various function spaces from subsets of a Euclidean space to the whole space.

Combinatorics is one of the fastest growing areas in contemporary Mathematics,and much of this growth is due to the connections and interactions with other areas of Mathematics. This program is devoted to the very vibrant and active area of interaction between Combinatorics with Geometry and Topology. That is, we focus on (1) the study of the combinatorial properties or structure of geometric and topological objects and (2) the development of geometric and topological techniques to answer combinatorial problems. Key examples of geometric objects with intricate combinatorial structure are point configurations and matroids, hyperplane and subspace arrangements, polytopes and polyhedra, lattices, convex bodies, and sphere packings. Examples of topology in action answering combinatorial challenges are the by now classical Lovasz's solution of the Kneser conjecture, which yielded functorial approaches to graph coloring, and the more recent, extensive topological machinery.

Geometric functional analysis lies at the interface of convex geometry, functional analysis and probability. It has numerous applications ranging from geometry of numbers and random matrices in pure mathematics to geometric tomography and signal processing in engineering and numerical optimization and learning theory in computer science. One of the directions of the program is classical convex geometry, with emphasis on connections with geometric tomography... (see website for more details).

The main aim of this conference is to contribute to the development of mathematical sciences and its applications and to bring together the members of the mathematics community, interdisciplinary researchers, educators, mathematicians, statisticians and engineers from all over the world.

The complex dynamical behavior of large pedestrian crowds has long fascinated researchers from various scientific fields. Academic studies began in earnest in the last century, starting with empirical observations in the early 1950s and continuing with the development of models in the field of applied physics. In more recent years, applied mathematicians have become increasingly interested in the analytical aspects and computational challenges related to simulation of existing models. With ongoing technical development, more and more data such as pedestrian trajectories and velocities have become available, leading to new questions of calibration of the mathematical models. The main aim of this workshop is to initiate contact between a variety of scientific fields,to foster interdisciplinary research and to explore new research directions such as data assimilation techniques and big-data analysis.

A conference on module theory and its relations to algebraic geometry, category theory, commutative algebra, homotopy theory, logic, and representation theory.

This school is an introduction to subjects of current interest in algebraic geometry, with emphasis on group actions on algebraic varieties. The goal is to train Latin American students and young researchers on the different techniques in transformation groups (algebraic, symplectic, topological, etc.) and to highlight the many interactions between them. There will be five courses, delivered by well recognized specialists from France, USA, and Mexico. Three of these courses will provide basic introductions to algebraic group actions, spherical varieties (which are generalizations of toric varieties and homogeneous spaces), and Mukai's vector bundle method (for constructing certain K3 surfaces and Fano varieties as linear sections of homogeneous spaces). They will be followed by two courses on interactions between group actions, complex dynamical systems, and arithmetic geometry. Additionally, there will be several research talks given by selected participants.

The introductory workshop will present the main topics that will be the subject of much of the Geometric and Topological Combinatorics Program at MSRI. Key areas of interest are point configurations and matroids, hyperplane and subspace arrangements, polytopes and polyhedra, lattices, convex bodies, and sphere packings. This workshop will consist of introductory talks on a variety of topics, intended for a broad audience.

Many systems, such as flexible structures, fluid flow, geophysics, and climate, exhibit behavior that varies spatially in several dimensions, as well as in time. The issue in many applications is to deduce the state of these systems based on a mathematical model, as well as measurements made by sensors at a limited number of locations. A well-known example is weather prediction, which combines complex mathematical models with data obtained from measurements. Other examples are estimation of structural vibrations and the determination of the extent of oil deposits, contaminants and buried explosives. Similar issues occur in medical imaging. It is well known that the accuracy of the estimate is limited by the accuracy of the model and of the sensors. The aim of this workshop is to bring disparate approaches together in the hope of achieving progress on the difficult but important questions related to sensor location.

The resolution of many of Thurston's prophetic questions about the structure of 3-manifolds has generated a vast array of techniques which permeate many of the areas covered by the symposium. As is often the case, the resolution of old conjectures has led to intriguing new questions, which will be the focus of this workshop. Examples include: given a combinatorial or arithmetic presentation of a 3-manifold, describe its geometric structure concretely ("effective geometrisation"); understand the geometry of the Thurston unit norm ball, for example how it behaves under taking towers of covers; understand the connection between Heegard-Floer homology and orderability of fundamental groups. Several old conjectures, such as the simple loop conjecture for surfaces in three-manifolds and the conjecture that a quasifuchsian group is determined by its pleating laminations, continue to motivate work.

An inverse problem denotes the task of computing an unknown physical quantity from indirect measurements. The corresponding forward problem maps the physical quantity to the measurements. In most realistic situations the solution of the inverse problem is challenging, complicated by incomplete and noisy measurements, as well as noninvertible forward operators which render the inverse problem ill-posed (that is lack of stability and/or uniqueness of solutions). Inverse problems appear in many practical applications in biology, medicine, weather forecasting, chemistry, engineering, physics, to name but a few, and their analysis and solution presents considerable challenges in mathematics and statistics.

The aim of the conference is to present the most recent aspects of today's research in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and of their interconnections through the talks by some of the most known and active international researchers.

In past decades, considerable effort has been devoted to first-principles modeling of materials and materials design. However, uncertainty quantification over multiple scales, especially when some of them are inherently stochastic, is not sufficiently understood despite having critical impact on guiding experimental efforts and design. The uncertainty in materials modeling and design can arise either from the stochastic nature of microscopic description, sampling and numerical errors or from improper modeling assumptions, inadequate or inaccurate parametrization of the system and/or the objective functionals that guide the design optimization. The methods for quantifying the impact of such errors and uncertainties have been recently studied in different communities, including computational quantum chemistry, materials engineering, and mathematics.
