The focus of this workshop series lies on the development and application of new structures in geometry and topology such as Lie groupoids, differentiable stacks, Lie algebroids, generalized complex geometry, topological quantum field theories, higher categories, homotopy algebraic structures, higher operads, derived categories, and related topics.

Dear friends and colleagues, I would like to inform you that a competition was announced for positions for young mathematicians at the Institute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences. The application deadline is May 16, 2024. For details see the web page http://www.impan.pl/en Best regards, Janusz Grabowski

Program April 17th, 2019 14:00-14:45: Christian Korff (Univ. of Glasgow). Title: The asymmetric six-vertex model, cylindric symmetric functions and virtual Hecke characters. Abstract: The asymmetric six-vertex model describes ice and other ferroelectrics on a square lattice. In this talk we will use it in the infinite lattice limit as a combinatorial tool to describe Hecke…
