Representation Theory, Geometry, and Mathematical Physics
A Conference in Honor of the 90th Birthday of A. A. Kirillov
Alexandre Alexandrovich Kirillov is one of the most influential mathematicians of the twentieth century. His pioneering work on the orbit method — linking coadjoint orbits of Lie groups to unitary representations — transformed the landscape of representation theory and has had profound and lasting impact across geometry, mathematical physics, and algebra. This conference celebrates his 90th birthday and the enduring legacy of his ideas, bringing together leading mathematicians whose work has been shaped by his vision.

The Satellite Conference of the 2026 ICM will take place at Cuernavaca, Mexico from June 16 to 20, 2026.
The study of discrete actions of groups and semi-groups plays a central role in geometry and dynamics. This originates in the pioneering work of H. Poincaré over a century ago, studying solutions of certain differential equations on the complex line. The study of discrete group-actions has played for decades a major role in complex geometry and holomorphic dynamics; and so, does iteration theory of rational maps and endomorphisms of complex spaces.

The 2026 Early Career Complex Dynamics Workshop will take place Thursday, Friday, Saturday June 18, 19, 20 at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. The goal is to have a small group of 15-20 participants, with limited talks, to foster collaboration. The theme this year is connections to mapping class groups and surface topology, broadly interpreted. The schedule, including participants and abstracts, for past years’ Workshops are available at https://pilgrim.pages.iu.edu/Research.html#Conferences%20and%20Workshops . The structure of the June 2026 workshop will be similar. Funding is provided in majority by the NSF, with additional contributions from Indiana University. Funding is available, with priority to applications received before May 1, 2026.

International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2026 in Philadelphia, USA | 23–30 July 2026
The International Congress of Mathematicians will be held July 23-30, 2026 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The congress coincides with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the 40th anniversary of when the last ICM was held in the U.S. The ICM offers a rare opportunity to meet some of the world's leading mathematicians and be inspired by the vast diversity of today’s mathematics.
Philadelphia provides the ICM with an excellent conference center conveniently located in the heart of the city. There is an abundance of food within walking distance, along with top quality hotels close to the conference center.
The city offers fascinating history, world class art and culture for your enjoyment, and we look forward to seeing many of you in Philadelphia!

2026 International Congress of Basic Science (ICBS 2026) will take place from August 9 to 21 in Huairou Science City, Beijing. As a premier global academic gathering in the field of basic science, the congress is themed “Advancing Basic Science for Humanity.” It will bring together leading scientists from around the world, foster high-level academic exchange, and share cutting-edge scientific knowledge with the broader public, creating a vibrant forum for intellectual dialogue and discovery.
To date, nearly 20 world-renowned scientists have confirmed their participation as plenary speakers. These include recipients of the Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Turing Award, Wolf Prize, and Shaw Prize, as well as members of major academies such as the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The congress is expected to attract close to 1,000 scholars and students from universities, research institutions, and academic organizations worldwide. Focusing on frontier issues in mathematics, physics, and engineering, ICBS 2026 aims to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and strengthen the connection between fundamental research and technological innovation.
ICBS 2026 will feature more than 20 plenary lectures and over 400 presentations by Frontiers of Science Award recipients. A poster exhibition will showcase award-winning research across all branches of basic science and interdisciplinary frontiers, highlighting recent influential achievements worldwide. The congress will also host a series of special events, including “Mathematics Night,” “Physics Night,” and “Information of Science Engineering Night,” where distinguished scientists will share their research journeys and insights. High-level cross-sector forums such as “Basic Science and AI Forum”will bring together prominent entrepreneurs and leading scholars to explore the integration of basic science and industry, promoting the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world applications.
The International Conference on Dynamical Systems is an event that has been organized since 1981, with a four-year periodicity, though irregularly dram. Its main objective is to bring together world-renowned in the field of Dynamical Systems — an area in which IMPA has played a fundamental role, consolidating a school with its own identity and foster strong research groups throughout Brazil and Latin America.
In this context, Jacob Palis was a central figure in this process of development. In light of his recent pass, we dedicate this edition of the conference to his memory, in tribute to his trajectory and legacy.
The topics addressed will highlight Jacob Palis’s prolific contributions to Dynamical Systems and to Mathematics in general, without, however, being limited to them, also encompassing other areas related.
Financial Support: The Organizing Committee has limited funds for financial support and will assistance for students prioritize. Applicants must upload, with the registration form, a CV brief in PDF format and a statement of purpose. The deadline to apply for financial support is June 11, 2026.

Since its introduction 50 years ago, the concept of Dynamical Renormalization (originally motivated by Renormalization in Physics) has become a fundamental tool in Dynamical Systems. The Program highlights recent advances of this theme, with a particular focus on the MLC Conjecture (the local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set), a central open problem in contemporary Holomorphic Dynamics. Related and parallel topics include circle and rational higher-degree Dynamics, 2D Dynamics (real and complex, dissipative and conservative), the spectral theory of the Schrödinger operator with almost periodic potential.
This event will also host a workshop: Half a century of Dynamical Renormalization: February 8 – 12, 2027.
