CAUTION: The Sender of this email is not from within Dalhousie. Dear All, This is the second announcement of the event "Unifying Themes in Geometry", which will take place online from 27 to 30 September 2021. We look forward to seeing many of you there! Best regards, Olivia Caramello (on behalf of the Organizing Committee) ============================================================================ UNIFYING THEMES IN GEOMETRY Lake Como School of Advanced Studies, 27-30 September 2021 https://utge.lakecomoschool.org/ (N.B. Because of the pandemic, this event will take place online.) Call for participation * Aims and scope * -------------------------- The event "Unifying themes in Geometry" aims to present and discuss fundamental insights and approaches to several key types of geometries, and significant links between them. More specifically, it will focus on intra-disciplinary connections between algebraic, arithmetic, tropical, motivic, p-adic, adelic, anabelian, topos-theoretic and model-theoretic geometries. The school will feature lecture courses on different aspects of geometry as well as invited talks by top experts in central areas of contemporary mathematics. It is our hope that this event will contribute to stimulate new developments towards a unified geometric vision shedding light on some of the most challenging problems in modern mathematics. * Organizers and school lecturers * ----------------------------------------------- Olivia Caramello (University of Insubria and IHES) Ivan Fesenko (University of Nottingham) Laurent Lafforgue (Huawei) * Supporting lecturers * -------------------------------- Weronika Czerniawska (University of Geneva) Paolo Dolce (Universities of Nottingham and Oxford) Wojciech Porowski (University of Nottingham) Riccardo Zanfa (University of Insubria) * Invited speakers * --------------------------- Alain Connes (IHES) Misha Gromov (IHES) Ilia Itenberg (Sorbonne Université - Paris) Maxim Kontsevich (IHES) Kobi Kremnitzer (University of Oxford) Barry Mazur (Harvard University) Grigory Mikhalkin (University of Geneva) Andras Szenes (University of Geneva) * Registration and contact * -------------------------------------- Registration information is available at the school webpage https://utge.lakecomoschool.org/ If you have any queries please send them to the e-mail address info@lakecomoschool.org =========================================================================== [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
