Frontiers in Surface Topology: Compact, Non-Compact, and Beyond (26w5563)

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) will host the "Frontiers in Surface Topology: Compact, Non-Compact, and Beyond" workshop in Oaxaca, from June 21 to June 26, 2026.

This prestigious gathering will bring together world-renowned mathematicians, emerging researchers, and graduate students from across the globe to explore recent advancements in the field of surface topology and its far-reaching implications in mathematics and theoretical physics.

Key Highlights:

1. Cutting-edge research presentations on compact and non-compact surfaces

2. Discussions on open problems.

3. Exploration of connections between surface topology and other mathematical disciplines.

4. Opportunities for collaboration between established experts and early-career researchers.

This event represents a unique opportunity to push the boundaries of our understanding of surface topology. By bringing together diverse perspectives, we aim to catalyze new ideas and potential breakthroughs in this fundamental area of mathematics.

The Casa Matemática Oaxaca (CMO) in Mexico, and the Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) in Banff, are collaborative Canada-US-Mexico ventures that provide an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station in Banff is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta Technology and Innovation. The research station in Oaxaca is funded by UNAM and IIMAS.
