ICMS Conferences
The ICMS conference series aims to present and disseminate advances across a broad spectrum of contemporary fundamental and applied mathematics, and to foster the development of emerging and innovative directions in mathematical research.
The conferences organized by the ICMS–Sofia aim to provide a vibrant platform for the presentation and exchange of recent research developments in contemporary mathematics. They bring together leading experts, early-career researchers, and graduate students to foster collaboration and explore frontiers in both fundamental and applied mathematics.
Each conference is devoted to a specific theme or emerging area, reflecting the interdisciplinary spirit of the ICMS. Topics span a wide range of fields, including but not limited to algebraic geometry, mathematical logic, topology, mathematical physics, number theory, and theoretical computer science. The events are structured to encourage interaction, featuring invited talks, contributed presentations, and ample time for informal discussions. By combining scientific excellence with an open and inclusive atmosphere, the ICMS conferences aim to support the growth of international research networks and to inspire new ideas across disciplines.
Conferences List
Women in Mathematics in South-Eastern Europe 2022
The initiative Women in Mathematics of South-Eastern Europe, aiming at promoting the role of female mathematicians, started in Dec 2020, when the inaugural conference took place. We intend to make these conferences annual. The main goal of these conferences is to celebrate women in Mathematics, to disseminate new results and create new long-term collaborations among scientists in South-Eastern Europe. We hope Women in Mathematics of South-Eastern Europe will attract the attention of young researchers and researchers from less-favoured countries.
Conference on Geometry and Physics
The goal of this conference to consolidate and disseminate new developments in Geometry and Physics. The list of participants includes: Maxim Kontsevich, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, France, Phillip Griffiths, Institute for Advanced Study, Karim Adiprasito, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, Vivek Shende, Centre for Quantum Mathematics, Syddansk Universitet, Denmark, Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark, Oscar García-Prada, Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas (ICMAT), Spain, Kenji Fukaya, Simons Center for Geometry and Physics at Stony Brook, USA, Mina Teicher, Bar-Ilan University, Israel, Robert Stephen Cantrell, University of Miami, USA, Yong-Geon Oh, IBS Center for Geometry and Physics, Korea, Ernesto Lupercio, Cinvestav-IPN, México, Tony Pantev, University of Pennsylvania, USA, Ludmil Katzarkov, University of Miami, USA and Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgaria, Meral Tosun, Galatasaray University, Turkey.
Workshop: New mathematical methods in solvable models and gauge/string dualities
This workshop will be devoted to discussing important and timely problems concerning the application of exact mathematical methods to conventional integrable systems and to the gauge/string models, e.g., to extend current methods for calculating finite-volume matrix elements of operators, to construct a finite version of the hexagon form factor expansion for short operators, to extend the methods of the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz to world-sheets of higher topology and to all sorts of boundaries and defects, etc.
Second Annual Meeting of Young Mathematicians
The International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia is organizing for a second consecutive year a meeting of young Bulgarian mathematicians from around the world. The conference will take place at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) from June 13 to June 14. A special guest of the event is Prof. Yuri Tschinkel from Courant Institute, NYU and Simmons Foundation director for mathematical and physical sciences.
Women in Mathematics in South-Eastern Europe 2021
The initiative Women in Mathematics of South-Eastern Europe, aiming at promoting the role of female mathematicians, started in Dec 2020, when the inaugural conference took place. A special distinguished guest of the inaugural conference was prof. Mina Teicher from the Department of Mathematics and Gonda Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University, Israel, Director of Emmy Noether Institute for Mathematics. Information about the first conference is available at: https://icms.bg/women-in-math-2020/.
