Learning over Structured
High-Dimensional Objects:
Theory and Complexity

Many modern, large-scale datasets are structured as graphs, matrices, tensors, and other combinatorial objects. A central challenge across mathematics, statistics, and theoretical computer science is to understand the limits of inference, when these limits can be achieved computationally, and where fundamental barriers arise. Recent progress has provided evidence of computational-statistical gaps in many such problems. Low-degree […]

Isogenies of Abelian Varieties & Applications to Post-Quantum Cryptography

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 16 to 20 November 2026. This workshop is dedicated to the emerging role of higher-dimensional abelian varieties in post-quantum cryptography. Bringing together experts in arithmetic geometry and cryptography, it will showcase state-of-the-art research, explore open challenges, and foster new collaborations […]

Dynamics & Learning in Brain-inspired Neural Networks

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 02 to 06 November 2026. The brain forms a large recurrent spiking neural network with extremely high connectivity making time-dependent mean-field approaches valuable tools to translate the microscopic level of single-neuron dynamics to the mesoscopic or macroscopic level. In recent […]

Nonlinear Markov Processes, Dirichlet forms, and PDEs

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 20 to 23 October 2026. The workshop aims to bring together leading experts and promising junior scientists in the fields of nonlinear Dirichlet forms and nonlinear Markov processes, two emerging research areas at the interface between stochastic analysis, functional analysis, […]

The Thermodynamics of Collisionless Plasmas

The first workshop on “The Thermodynamics of Collisionless Plasmas” will be held from 05 to 07 October 2026 at the Bernoulli Center, EPFL, Switzerland, overlooking Lac Léman. This workshop will bring together researchers from plasma physics, statistical mechanics, and astrophysics. The goal is to foster interdisciplinary exchange, establish a shared framework, and identify emerging challenges […]

Facets of Frobenius-derived invariants

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 28 September to 02 October 2026. Numerical invariants, such as the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and F-signature, encoding dynamical properties of the Frobenius endomorphism play a crucial role in prime characteristic singularity theory of algebraic varieties. Yet the nature of the generating […]

Unifying geometric perspectives on the Hitchin moduli space

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 10 to 14 August 2026. Since its appearance in Hitchin’s seminal work, the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a Riemann surface has occupied a central position in algebraic geometry, representation theory, mathematical physics, and low-dimensional topology. In the same paper, […]

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 27 to 31 July 2026. This summer school aims at providing participants with a deep and modern theoretical understanding of the rich physics of open quantum dynamics, combining conceptual lectures with hands-on computational tutorials. It will form an interdisciplinary bridge […]

Young Researchers in Mathematics

This workshop is part of the Bernoulli Center programme at EPFL, to be held from 20 to 25 July 2026. The purpose of this programme is to bring together carefully selected Bachelor and/or Master students from around the world fo an immersive mathematical research experience. Students accepted to the programme will work closely with one […]
