External programs 2024

Arithmetic geometry of K3 surfaces

November 25, 2024 No Comments

The aim of this programme is to break new ground in the arithmetic theory of K3 surfaces and closely related varieties (e.g., Enriques and elliptic surfaces; hyper-Kähler varieties), capitalising on a web of recent advances and conjectural frameworks. Progress on the arithmetic of K3 surfaces will likely have important consequences for more general questions about Shimura varieties, abelian and hyper-Kähler varieties, their rational and algebraic points.

The programme consists of 5 weeks of research collaborations (working groups, seminars) capped off by a one week workshop.

p-adic and Characteristic p Methods in Algebraic Geometry

November 25, 2024 No Comments

In light of the many interdisciplinary connections between algebraic geometry, singularity theory, commutative algebra and p-adic methods, the goal of this programme is to foster discussions and collaborations between experts from birational geometry and commutative algebra (among them, the members of the CAG), as well as experts in perfectoid and prismatic techniques. It will also aim to help younger participants get involved in this active and evolving interface between different research areas.
The programme consists of a one week workshop, followed by a more relaxed week with one or two research talks per day and plenty of time for discussions and collaborations.

New trends and applications around generalized Fokker-Planck operators

November 29, 2024 No Comments

New trends and applications around generalized Fokker-Planck operators

This 4-weeks scientific program will be oriented around four related topics:

1.  Hypoellipticity and various pseudodifferential methods
2.  Hodge type Laplacians and their hypoelliptic deformations
3.  Analysis of stochastic processes and applications to molecular dynamics and numerical methods
4.  Accurate spectral analysis of (non) self-adjoint, (hypo)elliptic operators.

 

The CIMPA and the Bernoulli Center collaborate to fund the participation of young researchers, including doctoral students and those who have completed their doctorate within the last 5 years or are under the age of 36. This opportunity is aimed at individuals based in developing countries, as defined by the IMU-CDC. You can find more information and how to apply on this page.

Representations, Moduli and Duality

December 5, 2024 No Comments

The programme consists of 5 weeks of research collaborations with one week-long school, one week-long conference and one workshop.

More information on this programme will be published shortly.

Call for Research Programs 2025

 

The Bernoulli Center calls for research program proposals in the areas of mathematics, theoretical physics, and/or theoretical computer science. The deadline for proposal submissions is June 16, 2024 and the period covered by the call is May to December 2025. 

Proposals should include the following information:

  1. Program name
  2. Names, short CV’s, and email addresses of organisers
  3. Duration of the program and preferred dates
    Programs can range from four to nine weeks in duration. Please do indicate your preferences regarding dates, but try to be as flexible as possible.
  4. Scientific program
    Give a detailed description of the proposed program, including an overview of the topic area, recent achievements, future research directions, timeliness of the proposal, relation to programmes held at other research institutes, etc. This should include a summary that is accessible to research mathematicians working in a completely unrelated field, as well as a more detailed (up to three pages) part accessible to experts working in adjacent areas.
  5. Program structure
    This should include a description of the planned activities like workshops (including number of participants and durations), weekly seminars, public lectures, minicourses, etc. We encourage you to contact colleagues working in your area at EPFL to explore the possibility of offering PhD level courses that can be counted for credit by EPFL students.
  6. Potential participants
    The list of potential participants should be about 15-25% longer than the proposed size of the program to account for cancellations. Ideally, potential long-term participants will already have been contacted for a tentative agreement. The center will provide shared office space for up to 10 researchers, with additional modular space available for discussions or shared desk space, and it can accommodate workshops / seminars with about 50 participants.
  7. Budget in CHF
    Please do include a detailed budget with your proposal. A guideline budget ranges from around CHF 80k for a four weeks programme to around CHF 140k for a nine weeks programme. Participants will be encouraged to use their own travel funds when possible.
Note: The SwissMap research station at Les Diablerets is located nearby and, depending on availabilities, can also be used to organise a workshop / retreat during a Bernoulli research programme.
 

Please send your proposal to Martin Hairer (martin.hairer@epfl.ch ) for consideration.

Send your proposal

The long-term research programs will start once the center expansions / renovations are completed.
