Abstract: One of the oldest and most natural knot invariants is the unknotting number, which is the minimum number of times a knot must be allowed to pass through itself in order to unknot it. Although this invariant was discussed by Tait almost 150 years ago, it is still poorly understood. For instance it is not known if it is algorithmically computable, and indeed there is an 8-crossing knot whose unknotting number is unknown. Nevertheless, the many developments in knot theory since Tait have led to some understanding of unknotting number, for example through its connection with 4-dimensional topology. We will give a historical account of this progress, and discuss some of the questions that are still open.

Arithmetic Quantum Field Theory Conference

at.algebraic-topology mp.mathematical-physics nt.number-theory rt.representation-theory
2024-03-25 through 2024-03-29

Cambridge, MA; USA

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: David Ben-Zvi, Solomon Friedberg, Natalie Paquette, Brian Williams

Description

The object of the program is to develop and disseminate exciting new connections emerging between quantum field theory and algebraic number theory, and in particular between the fundamental invariants of each: partition functions and L-functions.

On one hand, there has been tremendous progress in the past decade in our understanding of the algebraic structures underlying quantum field theory as expressed in terms of the geometry and topology of low-dimensional manifolds, both on the level of states (via the Atiyah-Segal / Baez-Dolan / Lurie formalism of extended, functorial field theory) and on the level of observables (via the Beilinson–Drinfeld / Costello–Gwilliam formalism of factorization algebras). On the other hand, Weil’s Rosetta Stone and the Mazur–Morishita–Kapranov–Reznikov arithmetic topology (the “knots and primes” dictionary) provide a sturdy bridge between the topology of 2- and 3-manifolds and the arithmetic of number fields. Thus, one can now port over quantum field theoretic ideas to number theory, as first proposed by Minhyong Kim with his arithmetic counterpart of Chern-Simons theory. Most recently, the work of Ben-Zvi–Sakellaridis–Venkatesh applies an understanding of the Langlands program as an arithmetic avatar of electric-magnetic duality in four-dimensional gauge theory to reveal a hidden quantum mechanical nature of the theory of $L$-functions.

The program will bring together a wide range of mathematicians and physicists working on adjacent areas to explore the emerging notion of arithmetic quantum field theory as a tool to bring quantum physics to bear on questions of interest for the theory of automorphic forms, harmonic analysis and L-functions. Conversely, we will explore potential geometric and physical consequences of arithmetic ideas, for example, the Langlands correspondence theory of L-functions for 3-manifolds.

AMS MRC conference Homotopical Combinatorics

at.algebraic-topology co.combinatorics
2024-06-30 through 2024-07-06
AMS
Java Center, NY; USA

Meeting Type: conference / workshop

Contact: Kyle Ormsby

Description

Transfer systems are a new combinatorial object that exhibit surprising connections between abstract homotopy theory, equivariant topology, and combinatorics. About ten years ago, Blumberg and Hill defined the related "indexing systems'' as the central algebraic object controlling twisted multiplications that naturally arise in the study of equivariant cohomology theories. Rubin and Balchin--Barnes--Roitzheim independently recast this notion in a much simpler framework, characterizing indexing systems in terms of transfer systems, as a particular kind of weak subposet of the lattice of subgroups of a finite group G , ordered by inclusion. Work of Ormsby--Osorno and teams of collaborators has shown how the natural generalization of this notion to an arbitrary poset has fascinating combinatorial properties, and Balchin--MacBrough--Ormsby have further connected this to abstract homotopy theories on posets. Each of these connections provides exciting results which can be transferred and reinterpreted in the other fields, yielding unexpected new structure and theorems.

This MRC will introduce participants to this burgeoning new area, bringing together researchers with interests in combinatorics, algebraic topology, and abstract homotopy theory. The field is rife with open problems, including basic questions about the structure of transfer systems, combinatorics problems associated to counting transfer systems for natural families of posets, identifying connections with other combinatorial structures, and applying the language of model categories to recast and reform these questions.

One of the exciting features of the program is that there are few prerequisites. Familiarity with abstract homotopy theory or with modern methods of algebraic topology will allow deeper engagement with some of the potential problems, but is not required, and much of the subject can be approached purely combinatorially. Before the workshop, relevant readings will be provided to help provide background, and an online collaboration platform will be used to start discussing material and to begin building community. At the workshop, participants can expect to work in teams on research programs, to engage with lectures from senior faculty participants about aspects of homotopical combinatorics, and to have open feedback sessions for further discussion.

The primary focus of the workshop is supporting early-career researchers, including advanced graduate students, postdocs, and pre-tenure faculty. As such, there will also be professional development sessions, the topics of which will be driven by participant interest and need. We especially encourage members of traditionally excluded groups to apply.

Applications will be accepted on MathPrograms.org through Thursday, February 15, 2024 (11:59 p.m. EST).

AGACSE 2024 (Applied Geometric Algebras in Computer Science and Engineering)

gt.geometric-topology mg.metric-geometry
2024-08-26 through 2024-08-29
University of Amsterdam
Amsterdam; Netherlands

Meeting Type: conference

Contact: Leo Dorst, Joan Lasenby

Description

The 9th installment of AGACSE (Applied Geometric Algebras in Computer Science and Engineering) will take place August 26-29 in Amsterdam.

The field of Geometric/Clifford Algebras has seen a recent surge in applied interest, as witnessed on https://bivector.net, its accompanying discord server, and other forums. The unifying nature of the GA framework is prompting company-wide software approaches to geometrical, mechanical and EM solutions. The novel PGA (the GA of 3D Euclidean geometry) has simplified the classical data structures from computer graphics to classical mechanics simulators. And the very recent applications within Geometrically Equivariant Networks have immediately produced successes that draw in new researchers and practitioners, with new software platforms and tutorials appearing monthly.

The AGACSE conference aims to showcase successful examples of such applications from industry, and discuss the new developments now brewing in research labs. We expect a fruitful interaction between practice and theory, in which novel insights inform implementations, and new target domains raise interesting new structural questions.

You may find the conference website here: https://staff.science.uva.nl/l.dorst/AGACSE2024/index.html.

The first important deadline is the submission of a 4-6 page abstract by February 29, 2024.

We hope to see you in Amsterdam in August 2024!
