La moltiplicazione viaggia nel tempo e nello spazio: cambia forma, strumenti e linguaggi, e, tappa dopo tappa, diventa sempre più efficiente. Nei nostri due banchetti la attraversiamo come un itinerario: Babilonesi ed Egizi, Fibonacci, gelosia e bericuocollo, i disegni di Gauss, il "divide et impera", fino alla FFT per tutti. Accanto al racconto storico ci sono attività e giochi per “toccare con mano” e sperimentare strategie e algoritmi: regoli, puzzle, sfide rapide. E chiudiamo con una tappa contemporanea: due giochi per scoprire la moltiplicazione come motore per scambiarci chiavi segrete in modo classico e quantistico. Ad accompagnarvi in questo viaggio 4 giovani studenti e studentesse del Laboratorio TensorDec di Unitn e Dopolavoro Matematico. Ce n’è per tutti i gusti: bambini, famiglie, curiosi, appassionati di matematica… e anche chi di solito la evita potrebbe ricredersi.
Tensor modEliNg, geOmetRy and optimiSation – MSCA Doctoral Network (2024–2027)
Status: Ongoing. TENORS is a four-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network / Joint Doctorate training 15 PhD candidates in cutting-edge research across tensor modeling, algebraic geometry, global optimisation, high-performance computing, and quantum physics.
Based in Trento: DC1, DC9 and DC10.
We are a group of geometers and algebraists based in Italy, whose common research interests lie within the theory of tensors from the commutative algebraic, the birational algebro-geometric, and the applied viewpoints. Our research team cultivates a collaborative atmosphere by means of joint seminars and collective activities (see the "Activities" tab) that foster the growth of its members. We also have a long track record of joint publications.
Our research is suported by the Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (Ministry of University and Research) through the award of four research grants within the scheme PRIN 2022. We have been recruiting a number of postdocs (see the "Job opportunities" tab for info), who naturally blended in our team and took part in our activities.
Applied Algebraic Geometry 2023- 2024 Monthly series of meetings focused on tensors and secant varieties (Bologna-Florence).
MEGA (Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry)
2026 MEGA edition will take place at Durham University, Durham, Great Britain,
Submissions of papers/extended abstracts is now over
Submissions for posters and software presentaions are open and available at EasyChair.
MEGA is the acronym for Effective Methods in Algebraic Geometry (and its equivalent in Italian, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc.). This series of biennial international conferences, with the tradition dating back to 1990, is devoted to computational and application aspects of Algebraic Geometry and related topics, over any characteristics.
Co-chairs of 2026 edition: A. Bernardi and K. Ranestad.
The TENORS Workshop 2 – Computational Methods for Tensors in Mathematics and Quantum Physics
will be organized from 13 to 17 July 2026 at University of Trento
We now open the call for contributed talks and posters. To apply, please send a short email with title, abstract, and affiliation to:
