In 1826, August Leopold Crelle founded in Berlin the journal that still bears his name. For a very long time, Crelle's journal has been
intimately linked to the University of Berlin and to the Berlin Academy of Sciences and Humanities. This conference will focus on the recent development
of prominent moduli spaces in mathematics, starting from the moduli space of curves, which, building on earlier work of Abel and Jacobi,
was introduced by Bernhard Riemann in 1857 in his fundamental paper Theorie der Abelschen Functionen
published in Crelle's journal.
On Friday, September 11th, the Foundation Compositio Mathematica will award the
Algebraic Geometry Prize for the best paper
published in the journal Algebraic Geometry.
Location
All lectures of the conference take place in the historic Weierstraß Hörsaal (3038) in the main building of the Humboldt University:
