Cohomology Theories for Automorphic Forms and Enumerative Algebra

Abstract

Cohomology theories have long proven to be powerful, unifying tools in numerous areas of mathematics, specifically in algebra, geometry, and number theory. Historically, the invention of the "right" cohomology theory often proved to be the key to uniform, conceptual proofs of conjectures and explanations of heuristic phenomena, bringing together seemingly unrelated mathematical areas. This workshop concentrated on the areas of automorphic forms and enumerative algebra, two fields in which cohomology theories already had a particular impact. It brought together mathematicians from various subdirections of these areas, both junior and senior.
