| Workshop at CRM - February 16 - 20, 2015
 Regulators, Mahler measures, and special values of L-functions
In 1979, Deligne formulated a far-reaching body of conjectures relating special values of L-functions arising in arithmetic geometry to associated periods — ostensibly transcendental quantities which encode the difference between natural rational structures on DeRham and Betti cohomology.| Read more | Thematic Semester |

CRM Thematic Programs – Letters of Intent
The Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) in Montreal is soliciting applications for thematic programs to be held at the CRM during the calendar years 2017. The thematic semesters take place from January to June (for the Winter-Spring Semester), and from July to December (for the Summer-Fall Semester). | Read more | Call for proposals |

The CRM creates an Advisory Committee for the Institutes Innovation Platform and hires a partnerships development officer
The CRM, the Fields Institute, and PIMS have been awarded a new grant by
NSERC this summer. This grant, called the Institutes Innovation Platform
(IIP), will be used to foster new collaborations between companies and
academic researchers in the mathematical sciences. In order to obtain some
help in reaching this goal, the CRM has created an Advisory Committee for
the Institutes Innovation Platform (ACIIP), including Dr. Michel Carreau
(Director, Renewable Power, Hatch), Dr. Denis Faubert (President and CEO,
CRIAQ), Mr. Pierre Trudeau (Vice-President, Business Development, GIRO),
and Dr. Roxana Zangor (Manager, Product Reliability and Safety, Pratt &
Whitney Canada). The CRM has also hired Dr. Stéphane Rouillon as
partnerships development officer. Dr. Rouillon will support the outreach
of the CRM in industrial mathematics, especially those projects that are
related to the IIP. He holds a bachelor's degree in physical engineering,
a master's degree in fluid mechanics, and a Ph.D. in operations research
(all degrees from the École Polytechnique de Montréal). Dr. Rouillon has
worked in industry for many years, in particular for SNC Lavalin, and
carried out several projects in the popularization of science and
mathematics.

Thematic Semester — June - December 2015
AdS/CFT, holography, integrability
The Anti-de-Sitter/Conformal Field Theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence has been dominating research in theoretical high-energy physics for the last 15 years. It posits an exact quantum equivalence between string theory as a theory of quantum gravity on negatively curved space-times and certain conformal quantum field theories defined on the boundary of these space-times. | Read more |
