August 17–21, 2026, 16:00–17:00 Sofia time, ICMS-Sofia hosts a Distinguished Lecture Series in Representation Theory and Mathematical Physics by Chelsea Walton (Rice University, Houston, USA) on A Century of Frobenius Algebras, based on the speaker’s book in preparation, Symmetries of Algebras, Volume 2.

The five lectures cover: (1) classical Frobenius algebras; (2) monoidal category preliminaries; (3) algebraic structures in monoidal categories; (4) connections to 2-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theories; (5) representations and functorial constructions.

The lectures take place in Room 403, ICMS-Sofia.

An international conference bringing together leading researchers in Hodge theory and birational geometry, mixing a main conference programme with four confirmed mini-courses by Benjamin Bakker, Leonardo Cavenaghi, Bruno Klingler and Claire Voisin.

A celebration of Julian Revalski’s 70th birthday, bringing together colleagues, friends, and collaborators to pay tribute to his contributions to mathematics and to developing the role of science in society. The event is jointly organised by the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS‑Sofia) at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, and the Institute for the Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami.

International Conference celebrating Stefan Ivanov’s 70th birthday and his remarkable contributions to differential geometry and mathematical physics. A traditional meeting of the institutes of the IMSAC consortium, jointly organized by ICMS-Sofia and IMSA — University of Miami.

August 3–6, 2027, Sofia, Bulgaria
