Intersection theory studies the Chow ring, an algebraic structure whose elements correspond to subvarieties of a variety X, with the ring product reflecting the intersection of subvarieties in X. Thanks to the foundational work of Fulton and...

The Gan-Gross-Prasad conjecture relates special values of certain L-functions to period integrals on classical groups. Jacquet and Rallis proposed an approach through the relative trace formula, reducing the problem to two conjectures: a fundamental...

Lipschitz transport maps between two measures are useful tools for transferring analytical properties, such as functional inequalities. The most well-known result in this field is Caffarelli’s contraction theorem, which shows that the optimal...

The Spring Time in Mathematical Quantum Physics workshop gathers leading experts and emerging researchers to explore analytical and topological aspects of many-body quantum mechanics. Discussions will cover topics such as the effective macroscopic...

From May 5-23, 2025 the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) will be running our popular Math to Power Industry workshop (M2PI 2025). This hybrid workshop pairs industry problems with mathematical talent, aiming to benefit both...

ELMACON is an annual math contest for students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Students tackle hard mathematical questions in an competitive environment to determine who will take home trophies and prizes. The contest is designed to be challenging but fun. It...

In the rich landscape of algebraic varieties, moduli spaces stand out as some of the most enchanting varieties, capturing the imagination of algebraic geometers with their profound elegance and deep connections to other branches of mathematics...
