Zhuhai) Hélène Esnault is a mathematician specializing in algebraic and arithmetic geometry. She obtained her PhD in 1976 at the University of Paris VII under the direction of Lê Dũng Tráng. She then completed her habilitation at the University of Bonn in 1985. Afterwards, she was a Heisenberg scholar at the MPI in Bonn and maître de conférence in Paris VII. In 1990, she became a full professor at the Universität Duisburg-Essen. In 2012, she moved to Berlin as the first Einstein Professor at the Freie Universität Berlin, where she became emerita in 2019. She continued her mathematical work and accepted a visiting professor position in 2019 at IAS Princeton. From there, she moved back to Europe in 2020. In the fall 2022, she held the Eilenberg Chair at Columbia University and is currently a part-time professor at Copenhagen University and a Faculty Associate at Harvard University. As a mathematician, she published more than 135 research articles with 45 coauthors covering a wide range of topics. In the following, only a small extract of her influential oeuvre is mentioned. In the 1980’s, she found together with Eckart Viehweg a new method to prove vanishing theorems in algebraic geometry. At the end of the 1990s, she gave with Vasudevan Srinivas and Viehweg the first general construction of an Albanese variety for singular projective varieties over an algebraically closed field. At the beginning of the 2000s, she proved that a Fano variety over a finite field has a rational point, answering positively a conjecture of Lang-Manin. She furthermore showed that a smooth projective variety over a local field with a regular model has a rational point in the special fiber if the étale cohomology of the generic fiber has coniveau 1. With Spencer Bloch and Pierre Berthelot, she proved that Serre’s Witt vector cohomology of a singular proper variety in positive characteristic is the slope <1 part of rigid cohomology, generalizing results of Bloch and Illusie in the smooth case. A spectacular result is her proof with Vikram Mehta in 2010 of a conjecture by Gieseker, which says, there are no non-constant stratified bundles on a geometrically simply connected smooth projective variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic. She proved with Bloch and Moritz Kerz a p-adic infinitesimal version of the Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. A result that recently has drawn much attention is her joint work with Michael Groechenig on the integrality of certain rigid local systems, which was conjectured by Carlos Simpson.Hélène Esnault has mentored about 25 PhD students and even more  postdocs. In recognition of her seminal contributions, she was awarded the Doisteau-Blutet prize of the Academy of Sciences in Paris in 2001, jointly with Eckart Viehweg  the Leibniz Prize in 2003 and received the Cantor medal of the German Mathematical Society in 2019. She received multiple honorary doctorates and was a member of various significant committees, including the Fields Medal Committee of the ICM 2018, the Structure Committee ICM 2022, the Shaw Prize Committee 2021-2020 and 2021-2025, and the Infosys Prize Committee 2023. Additionally, she has served on the editorial boards of several prestigious journals, including the Duke Mathematical Journal (since 1995), Mathematische Annalen (1998–2010), Mathematical Research Letters (since 2007), Algebra and Number Theory (since 2007 as a founding editor), Memoirs of the European Mathematical Society (since 2023), and Acta Mathematica (since 2023). The conference receives partial support from the GRK 2240: Algebro-geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology

Journée de géométrie arithmétique en l’honneur de Michel Gros

Michel Gros a officiellement pris sa retraite le 1er janvier de cette année. À cette occasion, ses collègues et amis souhaitent lui rendre hommage et célébrer une carrière remarquable, principalement axée sur la géométrie arithmétique, domaine dans lequel il a obtenu des contributions importantes sur des questions variées allant des cohomologies p-adiques et modulo p à la théorie des représentations, en passant par les régulateurs syntoniques. Michel a obtenu un doctorat en 1983 à Orsay, à l’issue d’une thèse intitulée « Classes de Chern et classes de cycles en cohomologie de Hodge-Witt logarithmique » dirigée par Luc Illusie. Après un séjour postdoctoral à l’Université de Tokyo auprès de Kazuya Kato, il a été recruté par le CNRS et affecté depuis les années 90 à l’Institut de Recherche Mathématique de Rennes où il participe à la vie scientifique du groupe initialement créé par Pierre Berthelot.Orateurs invités :- Cédric Pépin, Univ.

Combinatorics and Arithmetic for Physics: Special Days

Combinatorics and Arithmetic for Physics: special daysTenth Anniversary EditionThe meeting focuses on questions of discrete mathematics and number theory, emphasizing computability. Problems are drawn mainly from theoretical physics: renormalization, combinatorial physics, geometry, evolution equations (commutative and noncommutative), or related to its models, but not only. Computations, based on combinatorial structures (graphs, trees, words, automata, semirings, bases), or classical structures (operators, Hopf algebras, evolution equations, special functions, categories) are good candidates for computer-based implementation and experimentation.Organized by: Gérard H.

Il a ensuite créé une « mathématique de la morphogenèse », proposant des modèles pour la biologie et aussi pour les sciences humaines.Ces proposi­tions, souvent regroupées sous le nom de « théorie des catastrophes », ont quelque fois été controversées. René Thom a consacré la suite de sa vie scientifique à l’étude de la biologie théorique et surtout à la philosophie aristotélicienne.

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear Waves, a conference in honor of Frank Merle

Advances in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear WavesFrank Merle, a mathematician, and holder of the Université de Cergy-Pontoise – IHES Chair in Analysis has made many important and seminal contributions to the qualitative study of solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations coming from Physics. Merle’s work has been pioneering in the sharp analysis of blowup solutions, and the collision of solitons, as well as in the soliton resolution conjecture. His groundbreaking works have been very influential in the field and beyond.Throughout his career, Frank Merle received many distinctions, including:ICM Invited Speaker (1998)Bôcher Memorial Prize – American Mathematical Society (2005)Silver Medal – Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (2005)ERC Advanced Grant « Blow-up, Dispersion and Solitons » (2011)ICM Plenary Speaker (2014)Grand prix Ampère de l’électricité de France – French Academy of Sciences (2018)Member of the Academia Europaea (2020)The scientific objective of the conference is twofold. First, several experts in the field of dispersive and wave equations will present their recent advances. A second objective is to propose some conferences in analysis beyond the field of dispersive PDEs. The Scientific Committee hopes that all talks will be accessible to a general audience in analysis.Scientific Committee: M. Dafermos, A.-L. Dalibard, H. Duminil-Copin, T. Duyckaerts, E. Hebey, Y.
