June at the ICMAT

Robert Cardona (ICMAT-UPC) is one of the six young mathematicians recognized with the Vicent Caselles Award from the RSME and the BBVA Foundation

Last week, the BBVA Foundation and Real Sociedad Matemática Española (RSME) announced the winners of the IX edition of the Vicent Caselles Awards. Among them, there was awarded Robert Cardona Aguilar, postdoctoral researcher Margarita Salas at the ICMAT and at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). Cardona –an expert in geometric hydrodynamics, three-dimensional flows on manifolds and symplectic and contact geometry– obtained a result of great relevance in 2021, together with Eva Miranda (UPC), Daniel Peralta (ICMAT-CSIC) and Francisco Presas (ICMAT-CSIC), in which they found, for the first time, solutions for a fluid capable of simulating any Turing machine.

Over 70 university students attend the Escuela JAE de Matemáticas 2023 

From 26 June to 7 July, students in the last years of the Degree in Mathematics participate in the Escuela JAE de Matemáticas 2023 of the ICMAT. During these two weeks they have the opportunity to get closer a first glimpse of mathemathical research, together with scientific personnel from ICMAT and other centres. There are courses given by Mª Ángeles García Ferrero (Universitat de Barcelona), Tomás Gómez de Quiroga (ICMAT-CSIC), Pedro Tradacete (ICMAT-CSIC), Alberto Ibort (ICMAT-Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), Alejandra Garrido (ICMAT-Universidad Complutense de Madrid) and María López Fernández (University of Málaga). In addition, short talks will also be given on different research areas, or on the development of a research career in mathematics.

The thematic period on moduli spaces and geometric structures concludes with the workshop Gauge Theory, Canonical Metrics and Geometric Structures

From 19 to 23 June, the ICMAT hosted the workshop Gauge Theory, Canonical Metrics and Geometric Structures, focused on the study of mathematical aspects of gauge theories and the theory of canonical metrics on complex manifolds of dimension 7. These topics are of great interest to the community since the 1970s, and advances in the field have earned awards such as the Fields Medal. During this week, leading international experts in the field attended the ICMAT to discuss some recent developments in the area. It was the last activity of the thematic period on Moduli Spaces and Geometric Structures, developed between the months of April and June 2023, and organised in collaboration with the ICMAT Hitchin-Ngô Laboratory.

ICMAT and IMAG organise a course in functional analysis to encourage collaboration between young and senior researchers

The Doc-Course in Functional Analysis took place from 12 to 30 June, in which recent advances in the area of functional analysis were shared. Organised by the ICMAT and the Institute of Mathematics of the University of Granada (IMAG), the course put young researchers, in the last years of their doctoral and postdoctoral studies, in contact with specialists in the area, with the aim of opening new research directions. Participants addressed open problems in the area in small groups, each one led by a specialist.
