Two hyperbolic surfaces are said to be (length) isospectral if they have the same collection of lengths of primitive closed geodesics, counted with multiplicity (i.e. if they have the same length spectrum). For closed surfaces, there is an upper bound on the size of isospectral hyperbolic structures depending only on the topology. We will show that the situation is very different for infinite-type surfaces, by constructing large families of isospectral hyperbolic structures on surfaces of infinite genus.

In this seminar I will briefly review some success stories of Machine Learning applied to bio-medical domain up to date and speculate on what it will take to enable a much more substantial progress. I will specifically discuss Biology of Aging – the field which remains most promising and most fraudulent over the thousands of years in history of medical sciences. I will present my own work and suggest where theoretical approaches and modeling can make a big difference in a search for anti-aging and rejuvenating interventions.

The variational method is a powerful approach to solve many-body quantum problems non perturbatively. However, in the context of relativistic quantum field theory (QFT), it needs to meet 3 seemingly incompatible requirements outlined by Feynman: extensivity, computability, and lack of UV sensitivity. In practice, variational methods usually break one of the 3, which translates into the need to have an IR or UV cutoff. I will explain how a relativistic modification of continuous matrix product states allows us to satisfy the 3 requirements jointly in 1+1 dimensions. Optimizing over this class of states, one can solve scalar QFT without UV cutoff and directly in the thermodynamic limit, and numerics are promising. I will try to cover both the general philosophy of the method, the basics of the computations, and mention the many open problems.

2022 IHES SUMMER SCHOOL

REMINDER: the participants of the Summer School who will come in person have been selected among a lot of applicants. Others, who were not selected but put on a waiting list won’t participate in person because the capacity of the conference center has been reached.

Therefore, if you are interested in participating but did not apply or haven’t been selected or invited to come, please register to participate through Zoom and don’t come to IHES. There are no more seats available and those who did apply and were selected through the application process have the priority to participate in person.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

Scientific Committee: Gérard Laumon (Univ. Paris-Sud), Colette Mœglin (IMJ-PRG), Bảo Châu NGÔ (Chicago Univ.), Jean-Loup Waldspurger (IMJ-PRG)

The « Summer School on the Langlands Program » will be held at the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) from 11 to 29 July. IHES is located in Bures-sur-Yvette, south of Paris (40 minutes by train from Paris).

This school is open to everybody but intended primarily for young participants, including Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows.

It has been almost 45 years since the influential summer school held in Corvallis, Oregon in 1977 brought together the leading experts of the Langlands program and defined the research agenda in this area for subsequent decades, at the same time inspiring and enabling several generations of young researchers to join in this exciting journey. This 3-week IHES summer school aims to do the same for the next phase of development in the Langlands program.

Recent decades have brought tremendous progress on the project of endoscopy, the extension of the Langlands program to the “relative” setting of spherical varieties and other related spaces, numerous successful “explicit” methods (such as the theta correspondence) to construct functoriality, novel ideas “beyond endoscopy”, and arithmetic applications of both the theta correspondence and the relative trace formula to the study of special cycles and their generating series. Ideas from the geometric Langlands program have begun impacting and enriching the classical Langlands program in significant ways. In particular, the idea that the “space of Langlands parameters” is not just a set, but a (putative) geometric space, can be used to organize a lot of developments around reciprocity, including the Taylor–Wiles method, derived structures, the Langlands correspondence over function fields, and the geometrization of the local Langlands conjecture.

The summer school will attempt to bring these exciting new directions together and explore their interactions.

Combinatorics and Arithmetic for Physics: special days

The meeting’s focus is on questions of discrete mathematics and number theory with an emphasis on computability. Problems are drawn mainly from theoretical physics (renormalisation, combinatorial physics, geometry, evolution equations, noncommutative differential equations) or related to its models, but not only.

Computation, based on combinatorial structures (graphs,trees, words, automata, semirings, bases) or classic structures (operators, Hopf algebras, evolution equations, special functions, categories) are good candidates for computer-based implementation and experimentation. »

Organised by : Gérard H.E. Duchamp, Maxim Kontsevich, Gleb Koshevoy et Vincel Hoang Ngoc Minh

The conference will be held in a blended form, with talks given on site at IHES and others remotely through Zoom.

All the talks may be followed either online or on site.

Covid-19 regulations: for those who will attend in person, masks will be mandatory and we will ask them to provide a health pass upon their arrival.

—————————————– IMPORTANT INFORMATION ——————————————

Because of the current pandemic, we do not know exactly what form the conference will take. Two options are currently possible
– a fully online event.
– an hybrid event. In this configuration the conference will take place at the IHES, France. All the talks will be broadcast online

———————————————————————————————————————-

A 3-day conference on recent developments in the geometry of groups with hyperbolic features, Kähler geometry, and their interactions. This event is also be the occasion to celebrate the 60th birthday of Thomas Delzant, whose contributions to these fields have had a large influence in the development of geometric group theory and the study of Kähler groups using hyperbolic techniques.
