Conference 2025

Quantum Groups and Cluster Algebras

International Conference

Start date: 15 December 2025

End date: 19 December 2025

Event location: Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences

The International Center for Mathematical Sciences – Sofia (ICMS-Sofia) hosts an international conference on Quantum Groups and Cluster Algebras between 15-19 December 2025 at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers to share recent advances, promote further developments in the theory of Quantum Groups and Cluster Algebras, and to investigate their interactions and applications across mathematics and physics. Quantum groups and cluster algebras both provide frameworks for encoding algebraic and geometric structures arising in representation theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. Quantum groups, as deformations of universal enveloping algebras, capture generalized symmetries with rich categorical and representation-theoretic properties. On the other hand, Cluster algebras, introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky, appear as important algebraic varieties and reveal properties of them through combinatorial rules. Also, cluster algebras are essential in the study of canonical bases in diverse settings.
