Conference: Hodge theory, Birational Geometry & Atoms

The Institute of Mathematical Sciences of the Americas (IMSA) at the University of Miami will host the first part of the international conference Hodge Theory, Birational Geometry & Atoms from May 4–8, 2026. The event will bring together leading researchers from around the world to discuss recent developments at the intersection of Hodge theory, birational geometry, and emerging ideas related to the theory of atoms.

The Miami meeting will feature an outstanding group of speakers from institutions including Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, Imperial College London, Brown University, the University of Michigan, the University of Edinburgh, Stony Brook University, IHES, and many others. Participants will include Maxim Kontsevich, Brendan Hassett, Tony Pantev, Robert Lazarsfeld, Yuri Tschinkel, and additional leading experts in algebraic geometry and related areas.

Organized by Leonardo Cavenaghi, Lino Grama, Ludmil Katzarkov, Jaqueline Mesquita, Ricardo Miranda, and Misha Verbitsky, the conference is supported by the Simons Foundation, the National Science Foundation, and the University of Miami.

This meeting at IMSA will serve as Part I of a three-part international conference unfolding across the Americas, with subsequent meetings scheduled at UNICAMP (May 10–13, 2026) and IMPA (May 14–16, 2026) in Brazil.
