Conference in Memory of Yuri Manin

Conference in Memory of Yuri Manin, August 11 - 15, 2025

Yuri I. Manin (February 16, 1937 - January 7, 2023) was an extraordinary figure in mathematics. Renowned for his creativity, Professor Manin's profound insights -- in diverse subjects ranging from algebraic geometry to mathematical physics and quantum computing -- helped shape modern mathematics. Professor Manin was Director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. In this week-long conference, the institute will honor his results and ideas and will attempt to trace some of their developments.
