In his talk, Payne will discuss the topology of a space of stable tropical curves of genus g with volume 1. The reduced rational homology of this space is canonically identified with the top weight cohomology of the moduli space M_g the moduli space and
On Nov 01, the 4th Berlin Science Week will kick off. For ten days, scientists from Berlin and around the world will present their research and discuss it with each other and with the public. MATH+ is part of that event: 01 Nov, 7 p.m.
Ever since the compilers of Euclid's Elements gave the "definitions" that "a point is that which has no part" and "a line is breadthless length", philosophers and mathematicians have worried that the basic concepts of geometry are too abstract and too idealized. In the 20th
The Opening Conference of the 2nd Thematic Einstein Semester takes place at Arnimallee 22 (Lecture Hall A) on the campus of the Freie Universität Berlin. Over the past decade, algebraic geometry has found applications in computer science, biology, and engineering, in optimization and statistics. There has

The Fall School officially opens the 2nd Thematic Einstein Semester (TES) on the same topic. It takes place at Arnimallee 3 (Room SR 019 and SR 024) on the campus of the Freie Universität Berlin. The Minicourses are given by Greg Blekherman (Georgia Tech), Dawei
Combinatorial Optimization is an active research area that developed from the rich interaction among many mathematical fields, including combinatorics, graph theory, geometry, optimization, probability, theoretical computer science, and many others. It combines algorithmic and complexity analysis with a mature mathematical foundation and it yields both
August 19-30, at Zuse Institute Berlin Deep learning (DL) methodologies are currently showing tremendous success in a variety of applications. The BMS Summer School will offer lectures by international experts on both the theory of deep neural networks, on related questions such as generalization, expressivity, or
From a mathematical, physical, scientific-theoretical, and historical perspective, the conference shed light on Noether's significance to the present day. It also looks at the mechanisms of discrimination with which Emmy Noether, as a woman of Jewish origin, was confronted in the German science system. See https://www.noetherkonferenz2019.de/
What’s Next in Artificial Intelligence? During the current German Science Year with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), and with regard to the recently published AI strategy of the German federal government, the 5thDigital Future Science Match bridged cutting-edge computer science with business and society to
