5 answeredModularity and Quantum Topology 2026 took place from October 12 to October 16, 2026.
It was held at the American Institute of Mathematics in Pasadena, California.
The published audience was mathematicians and researchers in modular forms and quantum topology, with participation based on invitation or application.
It was worth the effort for researchers working on modular forms, quantum topology or the neighbouring areas of representation theory and combinatorics, since the week was built around open problems that participants proposed beforehand and around questions where progress looked plausible in the room. Mathematicians outside these areas, or anyone hoping for a conference of contributed talks and a broad audience, would have gotten less from it, because attendance was by invitation or application and the format was a working session rather than a lecture series.
Mathematicians at AIM-style workshops usually dress in casual academic clothes such as jeans or chinos and a casual shirt, since most of the day is spent at a blackboard or in discussion groups. Pasadena in October is typically warm, so light layers are enough.
