Description
This opportunity provides financial support for researchers wishing to attend the Workshop IV: Algebraic Varieties and Electronic Structure, hosted by the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) at UCLA. The workshop, taking place May 24–27, 2027, will explore the intersection of algebraic geometry and electronic structure theory, with a focus on developing innovative algebraic frameworks and computational tools for understanding correlated quantum systems. Topics include tensor structures, representation theory, Kalman and truncation varieties, polynomial optimization, and computational algebraic geometry in quantum chemistry.
Participants will have the chance to engage with leaders in mathematics, quantum science, and related fields, and contribute to collaborative discussions and poster sessions.
