About the Conference

The space of real numbers, although arguably a familiar space for people thinking mathematically, plays host to scary and intuition-defying objects such as the Cantor set and the Weierstrass function. O-minimal geometry provides a framework for studying sets and functions with tame topological and geometric properties, generalizing semi-algebraic and subanalytic geometry, while retaining key finiteness conditions. Over the years, o-minimality has had interactions with a wide range of areas such as diophantine geometry, Hodge theory, theoretical computer science, combinatorics, dynamical systems, physics, and machine learning, where it has been essential to go beyond just algebraic sets while at the same time having control over complexity and structure.

This conference will explore recent advances in o-minimal geometry and its interactions with other areas. Talks will cover both foundational aspects and emerging directions, highlighting new perspectives and open problems. Please register below and join us!

Location

The conference will be held in room B3.03 of the Zeeman building (Coventry CV4 7EZ) of the University of Warwick, UK

How to get here

The nearest airport to the university is Birmingham International (BHX). To get to the University of Warwick from BHX, taxis are available, as is Uber; should take mildly upwards of 20 minutes to get to campus. Also, trains go from BHX to Coventry station. You can also fly into one of the London airports. If you fly into Heathrow, you can take a train to Watford Junction (Railair), and you can take another train from Watford Junction to Coventry station. From Coventry, several bus lines go to campus regularly, for example 11 or 12X, see the map and the timetables.

You can take long distance buses instead of trains; there is a direct one from Heathrow to Coventry.

It is a 10 minute walk from the University Interchange bus station to the Zeeman Building, which is not necessarily the closest bus station, but the easiest.
