FOUVRY73

°⺣ a FOUr-week Voyage thRough analYtic number 7h3ory ⺣°
August 17 - September 11, 2026


This month-long program is hosted in the Bernoulli Center, EPFL, Lausanne, it includes a 2-weeks Summer School and a 1-week Workshop.
The last week will be open for stay in residence.



By its very nature, analytic number theory involves a very broad array of methods and tools. It has been instrumental in developing a number of important areas of mathematics, such as representation theory, from the characters of finite abelian groups, used by Dirichlet to study primes in arithmetic progressions, to the representation theory of reductive Lie groups, which is an essential component of the Langlands program. In recent years, important breakthroughs have been achieved using tools borrowed, for instance, from ergodic theory and homogeneous dynamics, from additive combinatorics, or from very fine aspects of probability theory (such as the so-called Gaussian Multiplicative Chaos).
It is because of the truly kaleidoscopic aspect of analytic number theory that young researchers benefit immensely from broad instructional programs where they can get first exposure to some of the new techniques which may be of critical importance in their own research. The four-week period at the Bernoulli Center which we propose aims at giving exactly this type of insight to PhD students and postdocs.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Scam / Phishing / SMiShing ! Note that ill-intentioned people may be trying to contact some of participants by email or phone to get money and personal details, by pretending to be part of the staff of our conference center. Participants should make their own accommodation arrangements in advance (if not supported by the conference funds) and be cautious when contacted by third parties who suggest they are associated with the conference.
