International Workshop

International Workshop on Frontiers in Geometry and Topology

Mini-courses and invited lectures on recent advances in geometry, topology, and related fields.

About the Workshop

Geometry and topology are among the central areas of modern mathematics. Their interactions have led to major advances in geometric analysis, mathematical physics, low-dimensional topology, and related fields.

In recent years, new developments have emerged from the study of scalar curvature, geometric flows, gauge theory, Floer theory, and geometric structures on manifolds, creating strong connections between traditionally distinct areas of research.

The workshop aims to bring together leading researchers and young mathematicians to discuss recent progress and future directions. It will provide a forum for mini-courses, invited lectures, and informal discussions, with an emphasis on fostering interactions across geometry, topology, and neighboring disciplines.

Program

July 13–19, 2026

Mini-Courses

Three invited experts will deliver short courses on frontier topics in geometry and topology. Each mini-course will consist of approximately three hours of lectures.

July 20–24, 2026

Conference

The conference week will feature invited talks by experts from China and abroad, presenting recent work and open problems in geometry, topology, and related fields.

A detailed schedule will be announced later.
