The 25th Midrasha Mathematicae on Groups, Expanders and Codes – Celebrating the 70’s birthday of Alex Lubotzky

IIAS, Feldman Bldg, Givat Ram, JLM
14/06/2026
09:00

General Director:
Peter Sarnak, IAS Princeton

Organizers:

  • Michael Chapman, IAS Princeton
  • Shai Evra, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
  • Ori Parzanchevski, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem

In the past few years, there has been several exciting developments at the confluence of pure mathematics and theoretical computer science. These include:

The refutations of Connes’ embedding problem and the Aldous–Lyons conjecture using tools from group stability, complexity theory and quantum information theory.
The construction of good locally testable codes and good quantum LDPC codes, using breakthroughs in high dimensional expansion.
This conference is devoted to these results and the theory surrounding them, and will celebrate the 70’s birthday of Alex Lubotzky, whose contributions range from establishing the very foundations of these fields, to the most recent breakthroughs.

Speakers:

  • Miklós Abért, Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics
  • Uri Bader, Weizmann Institute of Science
  • Emmanuel Breuillard, University of Oxford
  • Irit Dinur, Weizmann Institute and IAS Princeton
  • Isaac Goldbring, UC Irvine
  • Venkatesan Guruswami, University of California, Berkeley
  • Dor Minzer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  • Nicolas Monod, EPFL
  • Pavel Panteleev, Moscow State University
  • Doron Puder, Tel Aviv University and Institute for Advanced Study
  • Bharatram Rangarajan, UC Louvain
  • Peter Sarnak, Princeton University
  • Avi Wigderson, IAS Princeton
  • Shmuel Weinberger, The University of Chicago
  • Rachel Zhang, MIT
