Stratifying Kiel – Workshop on Stratitfied Topological Spaces, Kiel, Germany, 2026-08-31 – 09-04

Dear all,

This is the second announcement for the workshop

    Stratifying Kiel: Stratified Spaces from Higher Category Theory to Applied Topology

taking place in Kiel, from August 31st to September 4th 2026.

Stratified spaces have proven themselves to be a rich and ubiquitous class of mathematical objects, with appearances in diverse areas of such as classical algebraic and differential topology and geometry, higher category theory and topological data analysis. With this conference, we aim to foster the exchange of recent advances, ideas and methods between and within these various communities, working on and with stratified spaces.

Program:

We are looking to make the event accessible to a wide group of mathematicians. To this end, there will be three minicourses:

    Clark Barwick (University of Edinburgh): Stratified homotopy theory with a focus on constructible sheaves and exodromy
    Uzu Lim (Queen Mary University of London): Machine learning and stratified spaces
    Jon Woolf (University of Liverpool): Simplicial and perverse sheaves, and intersection homology

In addition to these, there will be talks by invited speakers, which will include:

    Fernando Abellán (MPI Bonn)

    David Chataur (Université de Picardie Jules Verne)
    Tobias Dyckerhoff (Universität Hamburg)
    Colin Fourel (University of Strasbourg)
    Jānis Lazovskis (University of Latvia)
    Ezra Miller (Duke University)
    Guglielmo Nocera (IHÉS)
    Markus Pflaum (University of Colorado Boulder)
    Hiro Tanaka (Texas State University)

    Francesca Tombari (KTH – Royal Institute of Technology)
    Marco Volpe (Universität Regensburg)
    Bei Wang (University of Utah)

Potentially, there are a few remaining spots still open for talks. Furthermore, limited funding will be available for travel and accommodation for young participants.

Please register here by July 30th.

Looking forward to seeing some of you in Kiel this Summer,

Lukas Waas (Oxford University), Sylvain Douteau (Université Paris-Cité, IRIF) and Timo Essig (Universität Kiel)

ATMCS 11, Bozeman, July 2025

The call for ATMCS is now up:
https://comptag.github.io/atmcs11/call.html

ATMCS is a conference series on algebraic topology, its role in computation and
science, and its applications. This conference will bring together researchers
representing different aspects of applied topology (broadly interpreted), and
different disciplinary areas.

ATMCS11 invites submissions for contributed talks and posters.  The submission is made as an extended abstracts through OpenReview.  See the website for submission details.

Important Dates:

  • Submission deadline: Friday, 24 January 2025
  • Notifications: Friday, 28 February 2025

We hope to see you in Bozeman in July!

Aarhus Summer School on TDA in Stochastic Geometry and Image Processing, 2025-08-04 – 08, Aarhus, Denmark

Christian Hirsch and his colleagues write:
It is our pleasure to announce the Aarhus summer school on “Topological data analysis in stochastic geometry and image processing” to be held atAarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, August 04-08, 2025. The summer school on “Topological data analysis in stochastic geometry and image processing” is a five-day event with the aim of introducing young researchers to the highly active fields of Topological Data Analysis (TDA), Stochastic Geometry and Image Processing. The key elements of the summer school are lectures by four distinguished keynote speakers and the analysis of real-world datasets in group project work educating young researchers towork at the interface of TDA and Stochastic Geometry. 

The principal target group is PhD students and postdocs in topology, probability theory, and related subjects.

The invited lecturers are:

  • Omer Bobrowski (Queen Mary University, London) 
  • Anna Gusakova (University of Münster)
  • Anthea Monod (Imperial College, London) 
  • Raphaël Lachièze-Rey (INRIA Paris)

The registration will open in mid March 2025. Further information can be found at http://aarhustda.info/

We are looking forward to an inspiring event.

GETCO 2018 Conference

Here is a conference announcement:

GETCO 2018
September 10-14, 2018
Oaxaca, Mexico
https://sites.google.com/view/geometricandtopologicalmethods/home
The GETCO conference series focus on applications of algebraic topology in computer science with special emphasis in concurrency, distributed computing, networking and other situations related to systems of sequential computers that communicate with each other. It is aimed at mathematicians and computer scientists working in or interested in these subjects, including researchers and graduate students.

A special issue of the Journal of Applied and Computational Topology will be dedicated to selected papers from the conference.

ICML Workshop: Topological Methods for Machine Learning

Description:

“This workshop will focus on the following question: Which promising directions in computational topology can mathematicians and machine learning researchers work on together, in order to develop new models, algorithms, and theory for machine learning? While all aspects of computational topology are appropriate for this workshop, our emphasis is on topology applied to machine learning — concrete models, algorithms and real-world applications.”

AIM Workshop: Generalized persistence and applications

This workshop will be devoted to generalizations of persistent homology with a particular emphasis on finding calculable algebraic invariants useful for applications. Applications of persistence — for example, signal processing, drug design, tumor identification, shape classification, and geometric inference — rely on the classification of persistence via barcodes, geometrization of the space of barcodes via metrics or as an algebraic variety, and on efficient algorithms. Accordingly, this workshop will bring together theoriticians, computer scientist, and the users of computational topology.

The main topics for the workshop are:

  • Generalizations of persistence: multidimensional persistence, well groups, (co)sheaves
  • Algorithms
  • Geometrization
  • Applications

The workshop will differ from typical conferences in some regards. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form no later than May 15, 2014. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply.

ICMS 2014: Session on “Software for Computational Topology”

The 4th International Congress on Mathematical Software (ICMS 2014) takes place in Seoul, Korea on Aug 5-9. This year, it will host a workshop session dedicated to Computational Topology. Contributions on state-of-the-art software for topological problems as well as applications of such software to other domains are welcome. See the dedicated webpage for more information,

How to contribute: Submit a short abstract of 200-500 words to the session organizer until March 31. You will get a notification about acceptance within one week and upon positive evaluation, you will give a talk at ICMS. An extended abstract (due end of April) will appear in the conference proceedings.  A special issue of Journal of Symbolic Computation will be organized immediately after the workshop.
