The interdisciplinary nature of Hamiltonian systems is deeply ingrained in its history. Therefore the program will bring together the communities of mathematicians with the community of practitioners, mainly engineers, physicists, and theoretical chemists who use Hamiltonian systems daily. The program will cover not only the mathematical aspects of Hamiltonian systems but also their applications, mainly in space mechanics, physics and chemistry. The mathematical aspects comprise celestial mechanics, variational methods, relations with PDE, Arnold diffusion and computation. The applications concern celestial mechanics, astrodynamics, motion of satellites, plasma physics, accelerator physics, theoretical chemistry, and atomic physics. The goal of the program is to bring to the forefront both the theoretical aspects and the applications, by making available for applications... (see website for more details).

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 breathtaking progress in both computer technologies and advanced methods to effectively and efficiently exploit them opens the door for a completely "new kind of science" at the beginning of the 21st century. This paradigm change has been brought about by two waves of innovations. The first wave primarily focused on High Performance Computing (HPC). Simulations and optimizations enable breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding or improvement of processes and systems in various domains of science and engineering. The second wave, which started later, aims at the comprehensive modeling of natural science, engineering, and societal phenomena in a data-driven way, with an even broader impact, also reaching the social sciences and humanities. Data sets from observations, experiments, simulations, imaging, digitization, or social networks as well as business or patient data are collected, processed, and analyzed.

On the occasion of CRM's 50th anniversary in 2018, the Laboratoire de Combinatoire et d'Informatique Mathématique (LaCIM) organizes a month of scientific activities to discuss the state-of-the-art and manifold interconnections between the lively topics that have long been at the core of research at LaCIM: algebraic combinatorics, combinatorial representation theory, Coxeter groups theory, combinatorics of words, discrete geometry, enumerative combinatorics, mathematical computer science and their applications.

The aim of the workshop is to bring together a small selection of recognised experts and younger researchers who are interested in analysis and (non-commutative) geometry on or of fractal structures.

The workshop aims to bring together experts working on elliptic and parabolic equations, singular analysis, geometric aspects of pdes, and applications.

This conference aimed to cover the topics: Ideal class groups of number fields: algebraic, analytic as well as computational aspects, Relative class numbers of number fields, Annihilators of class groups, Class field Theory, Diophantine equations, Elliptic curves and Iwasawa Theory.

This is a main workshop of the program "Hamiltonian systems, from topology to applications through analysis" and is a companion to the workshop next month (November 26-30). Both workshops will feature current developments pertaining to finite and infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, with a mix of rigorous theory and applications. A broad range of topics will be included, e.g., existence of and transport about invariant sets (Arnold diffusion, KAM, etc.), techniques for projection/reduction of infinite to finite systems, and the role of topological invariants in applications.

This conference will bring together mathematicians working on topics such as quantization of Hamiltonian manifolds,group valued momentum maps, moduli space problems, branching rules, semiclassical asymptotics,index theory (Atiyah-Singer and Connes-Kasparov). The techniques cover a fairly broad spectrum (K-theory and K-homology, analytical estimates, C*-algebras, representation theory) and the philosophy of geometric quantization will act as a focal point for the interaction between all of these areas. The workshop will provide an excellent opportunity for experts working on different aspects of the theory to exchange ideas, leading to fresh insights and new developments.

In Quantum Information Theory (QIT) one studies quantum systems consisting of a finite (potentially large) number of elementary systems with a finite-dimensional state space. The most common case is that of systems of qubits, each of which has a two-dimensional state space. The aim is to understand the potential of such systems for the storage and processing of information. QIT is made interesting and essentially different from the classical theory of information and computation (based on the Turing machine) through the existence of entangled states in quantum mechanics.

This workshop will focus on techniques and structures in real algebraic geometry and optimization, including computational tools for semi-algebraic sets, semidefinite programming techniques for polynomial optimization, and applications of these tools to problems in computer vision. Real algebraic geometry provides powerful tools to analyze the behavior of optimization problems, the geometry of feasible sets, and to develop new relaxations for hard non-convex problems. On the other hand, numerical solvers for semidefinite programs have led to new fast algorithms in real algebraic geometry. Algebraic methods over the real numbers are essential for many real-world applications. This workshop aims to explore the cutting edge of techniques in real algebraic geometry and convex optimization as well as applications of these tools to problems in computer vision and other information sciences.

This workshop will bring together developers interested in working on open source projects as part of the Computational Infrastructure for Operations Research (COIN-OR) project that is a community-based initiative to promote the development of open-source software within the mathematical optimization and operations research communities.

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.

Statistical mechanics starts as a theory of fluctuations. Its foundations are found in the theory of large deviations. Its development for non-equilibrium purposes requires a fine combination of probabilistic and analytical methods. Moreover mathematical precision is extremely helpful for understanding some subtle conceptual points related to the origin of irreversibility and to the precise properties of entropy (production) functionals. For genuine non-equilibrium situations, the workshop will clarify the mathematical properties of a linear response theory and of the canonical structure of static and dynamical fluctuations. Applications are found in the theory of complex systems, where the mathematical structure of a diversity of problems can be related to the structure of fluctuations and the response. Specific topics include: -discussions on a rigorous fluctuation theory in perturbative order around non-equilibrium and its relationship to the response of the system; -systematic

The spectral theory of complex systems has long been a topic of central interest in mathematical physics. In this context, the study of random and quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators reveals the consequences of complex long-range order or the lack thereof. While considerable progress has been made on some issues (e.g., conditions ensuring spectral and dynamical localization), our understanding of many other issues is partial at best. Examples include the issues of dynamical and spectral properties of operators with weak extensive disorder, multiparticle systems and asymptotic spectral properties of finite-volume truncations. One particularly fascinating aspect is the recently realized multifaceted connection to random matrix theory, a connection that is made both through analogy and certain conjectures of “universal” behaviour. This workshop plans to bring together leading researchers in closely related fields of quasi-periodic spectral theory, random spectral theory, and many-b
