Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to
exploring the consequences of Viazovska's recent solution of the sphere
packing problem in eight dimensions, in which she developed new
connections with automorphic forms. 

The workshop is organized by
Henry Cohn and Maryna Viazovska.

Space and funding is available for a few more participants.
If you would like to participate, please apply by filling
out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than March 24, 2018. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
