Faculty of Mathematics, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna
We are pleased to announce an upcoming conference at the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Vienna, bringing together communities across Optimal Transport, Metric Geometry, Lorentzian Geometry, General Relativity, and Quantum Gravity.
Further information—including the conference title, invited speakers, schedule, registration, and practical details are on our conference webpage.
Bei der LNF26 waren wir am 24.4.2026 im Hauptgebäude der Universität Wien, im HS16, Stand B04, Universitätsring 1, 1010 Vienna und haben der Öffentlichkeit unsere Arbeit präsentiert.
“Wie hilft uns die Mathematik, die Geheimnisse der Raum-Zeit zu entschlüsseln?”
Was haben Pizza und Flugrouten mit Schwarzen Löchern zu tun? Was passiert, wenn die Raumzeit von der Schwerkraft zerrissen wird, und wie sieht die Welt aus, wenn du dich mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit bewegst? Keine Ahnung?
Geometrie, die Krümmung der Raumzeit und wie uns die Mathematik hilft das alles zu verstehen, das konnten die Besucher auf unserem Stand bei der langen Nacht der Forschung erfahren.

The goal of this workshop is to bring together experts from various fields relevant to our project (Optimal Transport, Lorentzian Geometry, General Relativity, Quantum Gravity, …) and to map out open problems and joint interests with our local group in Vienna. Thus the meeting will be centered on short presentations of open problems and new directions of research, followed by extensive open discussions (30 minutes of lectures plus 60 minutes of discussion). Further joint work in smaller groups is strongly encouraged.
