the registration deadline (July 31) for this this year's Chow Lectures is approaching. Due to space restrictions, we will have to handle registration rather strictly.
The Chow Lectures will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences in Leipzig on October 16-18. The speaker will be June Huh (Princeton University).
June Huh is mainly known for solving long-standing conjectures in combinatorics and discrete geometry using and extending ideas from algebraic geometry. His many distinctions include a Clay Research Fellowship, the New Horizons in Mathematics Prize, and the Fields Medal in 2022.
At the Chow lectures he will give an overview of recent developments in the theory of Lorentzian polynomials, starting from his initial work with Petter Brändén and covering some more recent works of Aluffi, Brändén-Leake, Chan-Pak, Hu-Xiao, Ross, Ross-Süß-Wannerer, and others.
The lectures will be accompanied by a historical talk by Norbert Schappacher as well as talks and exercise sessions lead by Chris Eur, Sofía Garzón, Alheydis Geiger, Shiyue Li and Jacob Matherne.
The idea behind the Chow lectures is to give early-career mathematicians the opportunity to enjoy lectures by internationally renowned experts on active fields of modern mathematics and to create a stimulating research environment.
Limited travel funding can be provided for early-career participants such as postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. Applicants for funding are expected to submit a brief academic CV and a motivation letter or an article on a related topic for evaluation as well as to make a contribution at the event (such as presenting a poster).
