Meetings Edit

The TQFT mini-workshops address topics of current interest in Topological Quantum Field Theory and in Modern Mathematical Physics. The 2015 topic is Mathematical Aspects of Quantization.

The IST Mathematics Winter Lectures, a new series of advanced short courses by renowned mathematicians, has its first edition in 2015, with a 3 session course, Complex geometry on bounded symmetric domains and their quotient spaces, by Professor Ngaiming Mok, University of Hong Kong.

The XXIst Oporto Meeting on Geometry, Topology and Physics will take place at Instituto Superior Técnico, Lisbon, Portugal, from 4th to 7th February, 2015, with main topic Applications of Topology.

As in previous years, the meeting is focussed on minicourses given by the main speakers, supplemented by invited and contributed talks. Main speakers: Ulrich Bauer (IST Austria), Michael Farber (Queen Mary, University of London), Dmitry Feichtner-Kozlov (Universität Bremen) and Piotr Sulkowski (University of Warsaw and California Institute of Technology).

Sessions take place in Amphithetre Ea1 of the North Tower (February 4 to 6) and in Amphithetre Va3 of the Civil Engineering Building on February 7, both in the Alameda campus of IST.

The mathematical modelling of physiological problems leads to complex systems of PDEs and to computational challenges related to their heterogeneous and multiscale nature. This requires highly integrated and efficient numerical algorithms and high performance computing techniques for their simulation.

This workshop brings together leading experts and young researchers and its main goal is to promote national and international exchange of recent developments in the analysis and numerical simulation of PDEs, and its applications with particular emphasis to biomedical problems.

The main objective for this meeting is to create links between recognized researchers in Non-Linear Analysis and young researchers.

On top of discussing recent developments in this area our aim is to nurture an environment conducting to the development of future research projects.

The IST-IME meetings are organized biennially by the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST-Lisbon) and the Instituto de Matemática e Estatística (IME) of the Universidade de São Paulo (USP). The broad purpose of the meetings is to promote the interaction of researchers from both institutes among themselves and with researchers from other institutions. The main topics of the event will be ordinary and partial differential equations. For this edition we are also organizing a workshop on sympletic geometry.

This edition will be held at Institute of Mathematics and Statistics (IME-USP) of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and honours Professor Orlando Lopes.

The Summer School on String Theory and Holography is a 2-week event jointly organized by three European networks.  The first week of the school will take place at IST, Lisbon, and consists of 5 lecture series on topics in gauge/gravity duality.  The second week of the school will take place at FCUP, Porto, and focus on applications of Mathematica to selected topics in gauge/gravity duality.

International conference on this exciting and fast developing area of mathematics.

The Summer Lectures in Geometry are a tradition at CAMGSD that attains in 2014 its 15th edition. Renowned mathematicians working in Geometry and related areas have lectured thematic courses in two or three sessions during a concentration week in the Summer period.

This series includes courses by Bertrand Toën, Université de Montpellier 2, and Siye Wu, University of Hong Kong.

The Workshop on Operator Theory, Complex Analysis and Applications / WOTCA 2014 follows WOTCA 2010, WOTCA 2012 and 2-Day OTCA 2013. It aims to bring together, in a friendly and scientifically fruitful environment, researchers working in these and related areas of Mathematics, as well as in Engineering or Physics.

The meeting will be hosted by the Center for Mathematical Analysis, Geometry and Dynamical Systems of Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, in the context of the FCT project Toeplitz operators and Riemann-Hilbert problems: at the crossroad of Operator Theory and Complex Analysis.
