The 19th Special Week on Operator Algebras

We are pleased to announce that the 2024 edition of Special Week on Operator Algebras will be held in the Research Center for Operator Algebras, East China Normal University, Shanghai, China, from July 29 to August 2, 2024. The Special week is organized and sponsored by the Research Center for Operator Algebra at East China Normal University, the Shanghai Center for Mathematical Sciences, and the Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences.

SIMIS-TSIMF Interdisciplinary Series: Thermodynamics of Complexity – Free Energy Approach

上海数学与交叉学科研究院（SIMIS）依托清华三亚数学科学论坛（TSIMF）举办“复杂系统的热力学：自由能原理”小型研讨会，邀请物理学、数学、计算神经科学、人工智能等具有交叉背景和兴趣的专家，聚焦非平衡态统计与复杂动力系统的数学刻画，探讨自适应体系的自组织与演化的第一性原理和复杂系统的涌现现象。研讨会将深入探讨一下课题，1）非平衡态统计物理；2）高维动力系统、临界性、随机过程；3）信息论、编码理论。研讨会将首先回顾Jarzynski，Crooke，Seifert等研究的非平衡态热力学里熵产生与自由能耗散的基本概念、Shannon信息论信源信道编码和Bialek的信息瓶颈原理、计算神经科学领域提炼出的贝叶斯预测编码、主动推理和Friston的大脑自由能原理等，通过自由而聚焦的跨学科讨论，探索描绘信息运动及其随机控制的一般动力学规律和方程。

SIMIS-TSIMF INTERDISCIPLINARY SERIES: International Workshop on Logic, Cognition, and Philosophy of Mathematics

This workshop will bring together experts in logic, philosophy, mathematics, and cognitive sciences to discuss pioneering topics at the intersections of their fields. Key areas of focus will include the exploration of Kripke and topological semantics in modal logic, the examination of neighborhood semantics, and the integration of logic with game theory and graph theory. Participants will look into the implications of these topics for cognitive science, fostering a collaborative environment for advancing interdisciplinary research.

The 2023 Annual of International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians (ICCM2023)

The 2023 Annual International Congress of Chinese Mathematicians was held in Shanghai on January 2-5, 2024. Jointly with Fudan University, the newly founded Shanghai Institute for Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Sciences (SIMIS) was co-host of this major event as its inaugural conference. The ICCM is an annual conference that brings together Chinese and overseas mathematicians to discuss current significant developments and explore future directions in both pure and applied mathematics. There were about 500 participants at the 2023 ICCM. On the opening day of the conference on January 2, several ICCM Awards were announced. Distinguished Lectures, Plenary Lectures, Invited Lectures and many other academic events took place the following days on the Fudan University campus.
