Geometry, Dynamics, and Computer-Assisted Proofs – A Conference in Honour of Rich Schwartz
Heidelberg University will host the international conference “Geometry, Dynamics, and Computer-Assisted Proofs – a conference in honour of Rich Schwartz” from June 10–12, 2026, at Mathematikon, Heidelberg.
Over the past decades, the fields of geometry, dynamics, and geometric group theory have developed increasingly deep connections, with ideas and methods flowing productively between them. At the same time, computer-aided proofs have grown into a powerful tool that enables mathematicians to explore problems previously inaccessible. Reflecting these developments, Heidelberg's Research Station Geometry + Dynamics (GeoDyn) will host the international conference “Geometry, Dynamics, and Computer-Assisted Proofs – a conference in honour of Rich Schwartz”:
Date: June 10–12, 2026.
Location: Mathematikon Lecture Hall.
The conference seeks to bring together researchers and students working in geometry, dynamics, geometric group theory, and computational mathematics to explore their rich interplay and the ways in which computational methods can advance our understanding of key problems. The programme features internationally renowned speakers from Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Oxford, and the Weizmann Institute of Science.
The event celebrates the influential contributions of Rich Schwartz, whose work has shaped several of these fields and inspired new interactions between geometry, dynamics, and computational approaches.
The organizing commitee consists of Peter Albers ( STRUCTURES, Heidelberg University), Martin Bridgeman (Boston College), Diana Davis (Phillips Exeter Academy), William Goldman (University of Maryland), Patrick Hooper (CUNY), Jeremy Kahn (Brown University), Serge Tabachnikov (Penn State University) and Anna Wienhard (MPI Leipzig).
