The central theme of this conference is the representation theory of associative algebras and the wide range of powerful methods that have emerged from its development. We aim to bring together an international group of representation theorists, working with categorical, combinatorial, geometric and homological methods, with a view to exchanging ideas and perspectives.

During June 23-27, 2025, this conference takes place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University, in the Hörmander lecture room. The aim is to bring together experts and younger mathematicians working on sub-Riemannian geometry, spectral asymptotics and noncommutative geometry and to stimulate interactions across these fields. The conference is funded by the Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, the Carl Trygger Foundation and the European Mathematical Society.

Flows involving solid particulates are ubiquitous in nature and industry alike. Such flows are found in pharmaceutical production, the chemical industry, the food and agricultural industries, energy production and the environment. Many unsolved problems remain, however. In order to be able to solve problems, granular flows need to be understood so that their behaviour can be controlled and predicted. We are able to describe rapid granular flows, where the particles are highly agitated and there has been some success describing static systems. The intermediate regime, where these two phases meet and coexist, is not as well understood and yet is the most commonly observed behaviour of granular flow. The objective of this meeting will be to interface the two ends of the particulate flow spectrum – those working to understand the fundamentals of granular flows and those attempting to control particulate flows in an industrial setting – to develop solutions to the complex problems presented by dense granular flows. Themes will include dense granular flow, biological systems, self-propelled particles and geological flows, exploring new developments in theoretical analysis and experimental techniques. All attendees will be provided with an opportunity to present recent work and there will be substantial time for discussion, both during the workshop and during the evening! Postgraduate and PhD students are particularly welcomed and oral presentations will reflect the breadth of the field.

In recent years, there has been an explosion of activity surrounding algebraic points on curves, from many different perspectives. These include the study of measures of irrationality, isolated and parametrized points, computational methods to determine algebraic points, and the arithmetic statistics of algebraic points. In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers from these diverse perspectives, with the particular goal of developing bridges between them. The workshop will include overview talks on the various perspectives, research talks, an open problem session, and structured time for collaboration.

The conference is organised within the tradition of the collaboration between the Romanian and Finnish mathematicians, initiated by Rolf Nevanlinna and Simion Stoilow. The meeting is organized by Simion Stoilow Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, and the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Bucharest. The program is divided into sections as follows: 1. Geometric function theory and classical complex analysis; 2. Quasiconformal mappings, metric geometry and related topics in classical analysis; 3. Potential analysis, PDEs and stochastics; 4. Complex geometry, dynamics, functional analytical methods in complex analysis; 5. Computational methods in geometric function theory, potential theory, and related fields.

The 1st IMA Mathematics Anxiety International Conference will take place at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, the University of Cambridge, in the heart of the historical city. It aims to bring together researchers, academics, teachers, publishers, policy makers and all interested in the conference theme from all over the world. We particularly welcome submissions from researchers (at any stage) in interdisciplinary fields such as education, psychological and behavioural science, and sociology and envisage a number of themes including: 1. Mathematics anxiety reported by non-specialists i.e., students studying disciplines other than mathematics 2. Gender and other dimensions to mathematics anxiety 3. Concepts linked to mathematics anxiety such as negative emotions, unfavourable attitudes, motivation, communication, self-efficacy, mathematical self-concept, resilience to failure, and autonomy 4. Precursors and impacts of mathematics anxiety 5. Communicating and teaching quantitative courses such as mathematics, statistics, research methods and operational research 6. Pedagogical interventions to support mathematics anxiety sufferers such as blended learning, mindset interventions, those designed to enhance self-efficacy, student-led education, and student-voice 7. Interventions such as brain stimulation 8. Promoting equity, inclusion and diversity (EDI), in mathematics education

A two study days aimed at presenting new ideas and innovative lines of research in the field of mathematical and statistical methods for insurance and finance, both from a theoretical and applied point of view. To this end, invited speakers skilled in outlining new and exciting frontiers in research will participate. The workshop will also include poster presentations aimed at encouraging interactions and discussions among participants.

The William Rowan Hamilton Geometry and Topology Workshop: Celebrating Martin Bridson's 60th Birthday to be held at the Hamilton Mathematics Institute (HMI), in Trinity College Dublin, Ireland.

If you would like to request travel support you can do so on the workshop website. Organizing Committee: Martin Bridgeman (Boston College), Daniel Groves (University of Illinois at Chicago), Dawid Kielak (University of Oxford), Timothy Riley (Cornell University), Kim Ruane (Tufts University), Sam Shepherd (Vanderbilt University), Henry Wilton (University of Cambridge)

The symposium will cover, but not limited, various topics in differential geometry; including Riemannian and sub-Riemannian geometry, geometric structures on manifolds, Finsler and contact geometry, information geometry, and their applications in mathematical physics, relativity theory, and data science.

This will be a one-week conference broadly focused on the topics of the L-functions and Modular Forms Database (http://lmfdb.org), mathematical databases, computation, and number theory. The conference will include invited talks, presentations by authors of papers submitted to the conference and selected by the scientific committee following peer-review, as well as time for research and collaboration. We plan to publish a proceedings volume that will include all of the accepted papers.
