Conference on "Asymptotic counting and L-functions", May 5 - 9, 2025

Many interesting arithmetic functions such as class numbers, Fourier coefficients of modular forms, have a rather varying behavior that is only partially understood. However, often it is possible to determine some (possibly weighted) average for them. The approach is often to associate an L-series to the arithmetic quantity of interest and study whether this has an analytic continuation, study the location of its zeros and poles.

"Hot Topics" Conference on "Quantum Topology", May 12 - 16, 2025

The discovery of polynomial invariants of knots by Jones sparked the study of quantum topology in the late 80s and 90s. Work over the last two decades has led to deeper understanding of the mathematical structures behind these invariants.

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.

Physical Math Seminar

The cobordism hypothesis classifies extended topological quantum
field theories (TQFTs) in terms of algebraic information in the target
category. One of the core principles in quantum field theory - unitarity -
says that state spaces are not just vector spaces, but Hilbert spaces.
Recently in joint work with many others, we have defined unitarity for
extended TQFTs, inspired by Freed and Hopkins. Our main technical tool is a
higher-categorical version of dagger categories; categories $C$ equipped

Representations of $p$-adic groups and affine Hecke algebras

MPI-Oberseminar

The representation theories of $p$-adic groups and affine Hecke algebras are closely related. In this talk, I will explore how the representation theory of affine Hecke algebras provides valuable tools for studying the representations of $p$-adic groups, with a particular emphasis on the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2$.

Number theory lunch seminar

The Serre derivative is a differential operator that maps modular forms of weight $k$ to modular forms of weight $k+2$. One can study differential equations with respect to this differential operator. Some examples of such equations are the Ramanujan system of differential equations and the Kaneko-Zagier equation. A similar construction takes place in the case of Jacobi forms. In my talk I will discuss differential equations of Jacobi forms and some applications related to the elliptic genus of Calabi-Yau manifolds.

Let $\alpha$ be a real number greater than one and $\beta$ a positive real number. We prove that $\left(\zeta(\alpha + \beta n)\right)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ arise as moments of a positive definite Borel measure and construct the corresponding matrix theory. We determine its asymptotic behavior and show its relation to Euler-MacLaurin summation.
