Date: August 19, 2026 (Wednesday) at 4PM (UK time) Speaker: Prof. Marc Lackenby, University of Oxford, UK Topic: Knots, Links, and Polynomial Bounds About the Talk: Prof. Marc Lackenby is a leading mathematician in topology, geometry, and group theory, with major contributions to knot theory and low-dimensional topology. In this talk, he will discuss Reidemeister moves, the elementary transformations that relate different diagrams of the same knot or link, and the question of how efficiently one can pass between such diagrams. The talk will highlight his polynomial bounds for simplifying diagrams of the unknot, and explain recent work extending these ideas to every fixed link type. It will also describe the consequences for the computational complexity of recognizing knots and links.

CAIM series provide a forum for the review of the recent trends in applied and industrial mathematics either from a qualitative or from a numerical point of view. Computer science communications are welcome. Since theoretical studies find sooner or later their applicability, the conference has also sections for the theoretical branches of mathematics like algebra, probability theory, mathematical statistics or geometry. A special section of the conference is dedicated to the mathematical teaching.

The conference continues a long-standing tradition of international events promoted by the International Association for Generalized Functions - IAGF. Its primary goal is to gather researchers working in all branches of generalized functions and their applications. The most recent conferences were held in Turin (Italy 2024), Vienna (Austria 2022), Ghent (Belgium 2020), Novi Sad (Serbia, 2018), Dubrovnik (Croatia, 2016), Southampton (United Kingdom, 2014). The conference topics include, but are not limited to: Distributions, ultradistributions, hyperfunctions and algebras of generalized functions Linear and non-linear differential equations and stochastic analysis Pseudodifferential operators and microlocal analysis Geometric problems and non-linear distributional geometry Applications in mathematical modeling and mathematical physics Harmonic analysis, time-frequency analysis and function spaces Functional analytic methods in the theory of generalized functions

This summer school aims to train a new generation of young researchers in subjects at the interface of complex differential geometry, geometric analysis, and algebraic and arithmetic geometry. Mini-course speakers: • Dan Abramovich, Brown University • Benoît Claudon (to be confirmed), Université de Rennes • Hélène Esnault, Freie Universität Berlin • Philippe Eyssidieux, Université Grenoble-Alpes • Robert Lazarsfeld, Stony Brook University

The purpose of the meeting is to bring together researchers sharing an interest in a variety of aspects of statistics and its applications as well as matrix analysis and its applications to statistics, and offer them a possibility to discuss current developments in these subjects. The conference will mainly focus on research of linear modelling methods, estimation, testing, and predictions in economic, medical, and social science data, analysis of multivariate and high-dimensional data with special regard to complex data structures, robustness of relevant statistical methods, estimation of variance components appearing in linear models, generalizations to nonlinear models, design and analysis of experiments, including optimality and comparison of linear experiments, and applications of matrix methods in statistics.

The workshop will feature a broad range of topics, including real and complex analysis, harmonic analysis, operator theory, integral equations, PDEs, problems of mathematical physics, numerical analysis, and other related fields. We welcome submissions from researchers who are interested in presenting their latest research findings, sharing their expertise, and discussing new developments in their respective fields. TAPDE2026 will offer a rich program of activities, including plenary lectures by leading experts in analysis and PDEs, who delivered their presentation on the online seminars. Workshop will also offer parallel sessions, conference dinner, and an excursion. Participants will have ample opportunities to network with colleagues from around the world, share their research ideas, and establish new collaborations. The workshop will be held over several days in a convenient and picturesque location, with easy access to local restaurants, cultural attractions, and other amenities. We aim to provide a friendly and welcoming environment that encourages open communication and exchange of ideas among participants. Whether you are an established researcher or a student just starting your career in mathematics, TAPDE2026 offers a unique opportunity to learn, share, and grow in a collaborative and supportive environment. We look forward to welcoming you to our workshop and creating an experience that will inspire and empower you to pursue your passion for mathematics.

The Annual International Conference of the Georgian Mathematical Union was established in 2010 and has been held traditionally at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University. Batumi is the city of Georgia and the capital of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. It is located along the coast of the Black Sea in the southwest region of Georgia. In accordance with recent developments, the conference has been conducted in a hybrid format since 2021. The purpose of the conference is to bring together mathematicians from various fields to present their original research results and provide opportunities to establish new connections within the fields of pure and applied mathematics, as well as science, engineering, and technology. The conference also provides valuable networking opportunities for you to meet great personnel in these fields. The sections of the conference: Algebra and Number Theory; Differential and Integral Equations, and Their Applications; Geometry and Topology; Logic, Language, Artificial Intelligence; Mathematical Education and History of Mathematics; Mathematical Logic and Discrete Mathematics; Mathematical Modeling and Numerical Analysis; Theoretical Physics; Probability Theory and Statistics, Financial Mathematics; Real and Complex Analysis.
