This school is organised by Vietnam Institute for Advanced Study in Mathematics, in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute.

 

The program consists of two parts:

the conference “Quantum Topology and Hyperbolic Geometry”, which will be held from June 2 to 6, 2025,  
followed by

the summer school from June 9 to 13, 2025. The conference will be held in Phu Quoc island, Vietnam.

The goal of this conference and school is to introduce graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, young researchers, and interested mathematicians in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and other countries in Asia, to the basics of quantum topology and its connection to many branches of mathematics, including low-dimensional topology, representations of quantum groups, combinatorics, and in particular hyperbolic geometry. It will also introduce the audience to applications of quantum topology to various areas of mathematics.
