Autumn School (31 August - 3 September 2026) One-day Workshop for Women (4 September 2026) Workshop (7 - 11 September 2026)

Building on the success and positive reception of last year's Crafted Traditions exhibition, this renewed showcase continues a growing collaboration between the Onshu Craft Association and OIST. Featuring works by Tokuzan Seragaki, Akira Tamada, Hideyoshi Matsuda, Emiko Yoshida, Shigeo Abe, and the Teruya Studio, the exhibition celebrates the creativity, craftsmanship, and cultural heritage that make Onna Village unique.

Seminar by Dr. Emilio Jose Juarez-Perez, Institute of Nanoscience and Materials of Aragón (INMA, CSIC–University of Zaragoza)

Speaker: Dr.Liangbing Luo,Queen’s University Title: Discrete Approximation on Metric Measure Spaces of Controlled Geometry via Graphs: Dirichlet Forms and Harmonic Functions Abstract:

Based on the approximation of a metric measure space via discrete graphs, we construct a Dirichlet form. This Dirichlet form is comparable to the upper gradient energy and can be realized as a -limit of a sequence of induced bilinear forms projected from the discrete energy form on the approximating graphs. Moreover, we approximate harmonic functions on a bounded domain with a prescribed Newton-Sobolev boundary data. Based on joint work with A. Butaev and N. Shanmugalingam.

This Autumn School will feature a series of lectures by leading experts, aimed at introducing graduate students to the latest research topics in the field. The topics include: Singular instantons, S-complexes, and their applications to knot invariants; Heegaard Floer theory; The moduli spaces of Yang-Mills connections over Riemann surfaces (following Atiyah-Bott, and also Hitchin) Geometric analysis on singular spaces with Ricci curvature bounds, including singular Einstein spaces ; and Higher-dimensional gauge theory such as G_2 instantons and Spin(7)-instantons.

This Autumn School is part of TSVP Thematic Program “New Frontiers in Gauge Theory, Topology, and Physics” (TP26GT)

This one-day workshop will be held during the same week as the Autumn School and will feature talks by leading women researchers. It will bring together experts from a broad range of research areas in Geometry, Topology, and Mathematical Physics.

This Autumn School is part of TSVP Thematic Program “New Frontiers in Gauge Theory, Topology, and Physics” (TP26GT)

Welcome Ceremony for new faculty members joining OIST, and PhD students joining the Class of 2026.

The ceremony is open to all OIST community members and will be held at the Auditorium.

Motivated by physics, Gauge theory has a long history of spectacular applications in mathematics. Recent years have seen a number of new breakthroughs deepening the connection between mathematics and physics. This workshop aims to bring together leading researchers to speak about the latest topics in this field.

The Falling Walls Lab is an interdisciplinary format to showcase the next generation of top researchers developed and hosted annually by the Falling Walls Foundation in Berlin in November. In 3–minute talks, outstanding talents and innovative thinkers share their research projects, business models and social initiatives with an interdisciplinary audience and jury. Academic institutions worldwide are invited to host their own Falling Walls Lab and to send their winner/s to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin.
