The aim of this workshop is to bring together participants from computational mathematics and gravitational wave astronomy to tackle computational challenges in leveraging data-driven methods in key areas of gravitational wave data analysis in order to maximize the science output of the ongoing and upcoming observations. The areas of focus will be: (i) noise classification and detection, (ii) waveform modeling and uncertainty quantification, and (iii) source parameter and astrophysical population Bayesian inference.

This conference has been organized around the general trend of application of geometrical ideas in mechanics, physics and biology. It is addressed to mathematicians and mathematical physicists interested in contemporary mechanics, physics and biology and associated mathematical questions. The application of differential geometry to find new results on manifolds, relativity, hypersurfaces, N-body problem, gauge fields, geometric quantization, rotational sequences, minimal surfaces, biophysical systems, coherent states, Dirac and Seiberg-Witten monopoles, rigid body dynamics, Toda chains dynamics, geometric algebra, Kähler calculus, thermodynamics, etc. The meeting allows participants coming from different fields to share and interchange geometrical ideas among them with the leading role of differential geometry. The contributions presented at the conference will be invited to be submitted to the series on Geometry, Integrability and Quantization or to the Journal of Geometry and Symmetry in Physics.

Can abstract theory capture concrete behaviours and lead to a new understanding of nonlinear parabolic SPDEs? In this seminar, we present recent developments on stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) in critical spaces, where ‘criticality’ refers to local scaling invariance of the equation and is captured through abstract conditions. Combining tools from PDEs, probability theory and functional analysis, the theory of critical spaces provides the optimal setting to study the well-posedness of parabolic SPDEs and has already led to new insights into stochastic versions of reaction-diffusion and fluid dynamics models. While the first steps have been made, the seminar prepares to take it to the next level. Deadline for application: 1 March 2025

Recently, a number of long-standing conjectures in the field of matroid theory, and more generally in combinatorics, have been resolved by the injection of algebraic geometry and Hodge theory into the subject. A non-exhaustive list includes Adiprasito, Huh, and Katz’s resolution of the Heron–Rota–Welsh conjecture, the proof of Dowling–Wilson’s top-heavy conjecture by Braden, Huh, Matherne, Proudfoot, and Wang, as well as the proof of Brylawski and Dawson’s conjectures by Ardila, Denham and Huh. This Oberwolfach Seminar will present these (and related) novel developments in an approachable way to graduate students and postdocs.

The "El Escorial Meetings", as they are known, began in 1979 and were followed by others in 1983, 1987, 1992 (this time in Miraflores de la Sierra), 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2022. The twelfth will take place on June 9-13, 2025. These conferences are a meeting point for mathematicians working in harmonic analysis and its interplay with partial differential equations. They have attracted mathematicians from all over the world and their proceedings have recorded periodically the basic developments in the above mentioned areas. The format of these conferences is somehow special, as it consists of both short courses and general lectures. Three or four outstanding mathematicians are invited to present a rich and current piece of mathematics assuming minimal background from the audience and reaching the frontiers of present day research. These short courses are intended primarily for young graduate and post-graduate students or for mathematicians in other areas who want to become acquainted with the field. In addition to this, the conference presents ten to fifteen lectures of a more specialized nature, given by invited speakers. Finally, some sessions of short talks are scheduled to accommodate those participants wishing to present their own recent results. There will also be a poster session.

Conference Quasiweekend III - Twenty years on collects together experts, from all fields of mathematics, using quasiconformal methods, especially in complex dynamics, geometric function theory, geometric group theory, analysis on metric spaces. Previous conferences in this series, Quasiweekend and Quasiweekend II – Ten years after, took place in 2005 and 2015, respectively, in Helsinki. With Quasiweekend III we celebrate mathematical legacy of Juha Heinonen -- initiator of this conference series -- in the broad field of quasiconformal analysis.
