Cooperation is seen across all biological scales ranging from cells to societies. In organisms like bacteria, the decision-making process is genetically hardwired but higher animals endowed with cognitive abilities have to make choices that can affect not only their own survival but also that of their group.Uncovering the organizing principles that lead to evolution of cooperation is an issue of fundamental importance that transcends disciplinary boundaries. Insights can be obtained from studying biological communities, through mathematical and agent-based modeling, cognitive science, social network dynamics and behavioral economics. Such investigations can also lead to the understanding of other intriguing evolutionary phenomena like opinion dynamics, evolution of fairness and spiteful behaviour. Evolutionary Game Theory  provides a powerful framework for addressing such questions in the context of both biological and cultural evolution. In this program, we will therefore be addressin...

This is a two-week thematic program with a focus on recent developments in Teichmüller theory which promise to be fertile in the near future. These includeThe metric theory of Teichmüller spaces and other spaces, including the recent breakthroughs in the Thurston metric.Higher Teichmüller theory, and its interplay with Higgs bundles, algebraic geometry and Anosov representations.The Teichmüller theory of infinite-type surfaces, including their quasiconformal theory and what is known as the ``big" mapping class group.Relations with anti-de Sitter geometry.The techniques for these areas come from complex analysis, hyperbolic geometry, dynamics, partial differential equations, projective geometry, geometric and combinatorial group theory, algebraic geometry, Kähler geometry and other fields —  these often give several points of view on the same objects showing the richness of the theory.The workshop will consist of a series of mini-courses (with lectures typically totalling 3 hours) toget...

The workshop aims to bring together experts from two different disciplines: mathematical aspects of scattering amplitudes, and cosmology. In the last decades we have got a tremendous amount of insights in the structure of perturbative on-shell scattering amplitudes. This includes unitarity methods, recursion relations, worldsheet models, bootstrap methods and more recently also an intriguing connection to positive geometry, positive Grassmannian, Associahedron and the Amplituhedron. This all pushes us closer to a reformulation of the perturbative S-matrix using a completely new set of principles. At the same time, similar remarkable structures have been observed in cosmological correlators, which are fundamental objects capturing the physics of our Universe. This connects two seemingly different fields of theoretical physics. This workshop will help to advance these connections further.Eligibility criteria:Registrations for the PGSAC Program are open to graduate students and researcher...
