The aim of the workshop is to understand the connection between classical topics in automorphic forms, including the theory of Hecke operators, and concepts from discrete geometry, notably Ehrhart theory for convex polytopes, which manifests itself in the study of suitable Hilbert-Poincaré series.
The workshop takes place at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research at Bielefeld University. Note that due to the current situation, the number of participants is limited and applications are not longer possible.
