| A Window into Zeta and Modular Physics |
| June 16, 2008 to June 27, 2008 |
|
| Organized By: Floyd Williams (University of Massachusetts) and Klaus Kirsten (Baylor University) |
| In recent years,a noteworthy and very fruitful interlacing of number theory and physics has emerged.As indicated in the September 2007 issue of the AMS Notices,for example,a new journal "Communications in Number Theory and Physics " has just been launched to follow significant interactions and dynamics between these two fields.Several books are now available,in addition to an array of conference and workshop activity,that accent this fortunate merger of "pure"mathematics and physical theory-with applications that range from field theory (conformal and topological),extended objects (strings and branes)cosmology and black hole physics, to Bose-Einstein condensation and the theory of relativistic gases. |

| IAS/PCMI Summer Program: Analytic and Algebraic Geometry: Common Problems - Different Methods |
| July 06, 2008 to July 26, 2008 |
| Location: IAS/Park City Mathematics Institute, Salt Lake City, UT |
| Organized By: Mircea Mustaţă (University of Michigan), Jeff McNeal (Ohio State University) |
| NOTE: This workshop requires a special application with a January 20, 2008 deadline. For application forms, please visit http://www.admin.ias.edu/ma/current/program_gradsummer.php |

| Geometry and Representation Theory of Tensors for Computer Science, Statistics, and other areas |
| July 07, 2008 to July 18, 2008 |
| Location: Baker Board Room |
| Organized By: J.M. Landsberg (Texas A&M), Lek-Heng Lim (UC Berkeley) and Jason Morton (UC Berkeley) |
| Recently the common geometry of tensors arising in questions in computational complexity, statistical learning theory, signal processing, scientific data analysis have been looked at from a unified perspective. The underlying geometry and representation theory will be covered in this workshop with and eye towards problems such as the complexity of matrix multiplication, Valiant's approach to P=NP, measures of entanglement in quantum information theory, graphicalmodels in statistical learning theory, independent component analysis and other multilinear data analytic techniques. |

| Climate Change - Summer Graduate Workshop |
| July 14, 2008 to August 01, 2008 |
|
| Organized By: Christopher K. R. T. Jones (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), Inez Fung (University of California at Berkeley), Eric Kostelich (Arizona State University), K.K.Tung (University of Washington), and Mary Lou Zeeman (Bowdoin College) |
| The goal of the workshop will be to discern ways in which mathematics can contribute and to expose new researchers to some of the key areas that we believe will form the basis of serious mathematical considerations of climate change issues. |

| Toric Varieties |
| June 15, 2009 to June 26, 2009 |
|
| Organized By: David Cox and Hal Schenck |
| Toric varieties are algebraic varieties defined by combinatorial data, and there is a wonderful interplay between algebra, combinatorics and geometry involved in their study. Many of the key concepts of abstract algebraic geometry (for example, constructing a variety by gluing affine pieces) have very concrete interpretations in the toric case, making toric varieties an ideal tool for introducing students to abstruse concepts. |
