| 6.Summer@ICERM: Geometry and Dynamics |
| Dates | 18 Jun 2012 → 10 Aug 2012 | [ID=449316] |
| Location | Providence, Rhode Island, United States |
| Abstract | The Summer@ICERM program is designed for a select group of 10-12 undergraduate scholars. Students will work in small groups of two or three, supervised by a faculty advisor and aided by a teaching assistant. The faculty advisors will describe a variety of enticing open questions in geometry and in dynamical systems of geometric origin. Topics discussed will include Euclidean, hyperbolic and projective geometry, iteration of geometric constructions, and mathematical billiards. A variety of activities around these research themes will allow participants to engage in collaborative research, communicate and examine their findings in formal and informal settings, and report-out their findings with a finished product. |

| 11.Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory |
| Dates | 14 Jan 2013 → 24 May 2013 | [ID=436437] |
| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | Over the last few decades noncommutative algebraic geometry (in its many forms) has become increasingly important, both within noncommutative algebra/representation theory, as well as having significant applications to algebraic geometry and other neighbouring areas. The goal of this program is to explore and expand upon these subjects and their interactions. Topics of particular interest include noncommutative projective algebraic geometry, noncommutative resolutions of (commutative or noncommutative) singularities, Calabi-Yau algebras, deformation theory and Poisson structures, as well as the interplay of these subjects with the algebras appearing in representation theory-like enveloping algebras, symplectic reflection algebras and the many guises of Hecke algebras. |

| 12.Introductory Workshop: Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory |
| Dates | 28 Jan 2013 → 01 Feb 2013 | [ID=422539] |
| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | This workshop will provide several short lecture series consisting of two or three lectures each to introduce postdocs, graduate students and non-experts to some of the major themes of the conference. While the precise topics may change to reflect developments in the area, it is likely that we will run mini-series in the following subjects: noncommutative algebraic geometry; D-module theory; derived categories; noncommutative resolutions of singularities; deformation-quantization; symplectic reflection algebras; growth functions of infinite dimensional algebras. |

| 13.Interactions Between Analysis and Geometry |
| Dates | 11 Mar 2013 → 14 Mar 2013 | [ID=436380] |
| Location | Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM),, United States |
| Abstract | Within mathematics, as within science in general, there is a need for greater communication between workers from different research specialties. The purpose of this program is to promote the interaction between two core areas of mathematics-analysis and geometry. Geometers can give analysts new perspectives and focus for their research; geometers can benefit from an exchange of ideas with analysts by becoming more familiar with the powerful tools of their field. An application is available online. Encouraging the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM's mission and we welcome their applications. |

| 14.Interactions between Noncommutative Algebra, Representation Theory, and Algebraic Geometry |
| Dates | 08 Apr 2013 → 12 Apr 2013 | [ID=422516] |
| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | In recent years there have been increasing interactions between noncommutative algebra/representation theory on the one hand and algebraic geometry on the other. This workshop would aim to examine these interactions and, as importantly, to encourage the interactions between the three areas. The precise topics will become more precise nearer the time, but will certainly include: Noncommutative algebraic geometry; noncommutative resolutions of singularities and Calabi-Yau algebras; symplectic reflection and related algebras; D-module theory; deformation-quantization. |

| 15.Optimal Transport: Geometry and Dynamics |
| Dates | 19 Aug 2013 → 20 Dec 2013 | [ID=436440] |
| Location | Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, United States |
| Abstract | In the past two decades, the theory of optimal transportation has emerged as a fertile field of inquiry, and a diverse tool for exploring applications within and beyond mathematics. This transformation occurred partly because long-standing issues could finally be resolved, but also because unexpected connections emerged which linked these questions to classical problems in geometry, partial differential equations, nonlinear dynamics, natural sciences, design problems and economics. The aim of this program will be to gather experts in optimal transport and areas of potential application to catalyze new investigations, disseminate progress, and invigorate ongoing exploration. |
