EMS Women in Mathematics Day 2026 (May 22nd)
The Women in Mathematics Committee (WiM) of the European Mathematical Society is proud to announce the EMS Women in Mathematics Day 2026. This special event is organized as part of the "May 12th" initiative, a worldwide celebration of women in mathematics in memory of Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to receive the Fields Medal.
Event Details
The event will feature scientific colloquium-level talks by two distinguished speakers and will take place online on Friday, May 22nd, 2026 with the following schedule:
15.00 CEST Welcome by EMS President Jan Philip Solovej
15.15 CEST Kaisa Matomäki (University of Turku): Primes, almost primes, and the Liouville function in short intervals
16.15 CEST Annalisa Buffa (EPF Lausanne): On the impact of geometric simplification on the solutions of PDEs
Any interested person is invited to join via the Zoom Link: https://uni-lj-si.zoom.us/j/96661540620
About the Talks
Kaisa Matomäki (University of Turku)
Primes, almost primes, and the Liouville function in short intervals
Abstract: I will first introduce some fundamental concepts in analytic number theory such as primes and the Liouville function as well as briefly discuss classical results concerning them and their local distribution. Then I will move on to discussing more recent progress on the topic.
Annalisa Buffa (EPF Lausanne)
On the impact of geometric simplification on the solutions of PDEs
Abstract: Geometric simplification is standard in geometric design and is often called defeaturing. We analyze the impact of geometric simplification on the solutions of PDEs and provide a framework allowing us to measure and control the error generated by such simplifications. This is joint work with Philipp Weder.
