The conference “Fundamental Geometries” brought together leading researchers and young mathematicians working at the interface of geometry, topology, algebra, and number theory. The meeting was organized as part of the growing collaboration between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Bologna and aims to foster new research interactions across these areas.

The Department of Mathematics at Johns Hopkins University is pleased to announce that the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences and the Alma Mater Studiorum of the University of Bologna have established a framework for long-term collaboration between the two institutions, in areas including research, teaching, academic exchange, and the organization of joint scientific initiatives.

The Spring 2026 Algebra and Number Theory Day will be held on Sunday, April 19, 2026 at Johns Hopkins University. The speakers will be Rui Chen, Rok Gregoric, and Christian Klevdal from JHU, and Foivos Chnaras, Myeong Jae Jeon, and Junyan Zhao from UMD.

The Johns Hopkins Junior Number Theory Days are a two-day workshop in Number Theory, where the speakers are either PhD students who are graduating, or post-docs who recently graduated. It aims to bring together strong, promising young researchers in Number Theory and neighboring fields, and to give them an opportunity to showcase their work.

Dr Takashi Ono, Professor Emeritus of Johns Hopkins University, passed away on January 11, 2026 at the age of 97. He was renowned for his foundational work in algebraic number theory and arithmetic geometry. Ono served as a tenured professor at the JHU Department of Mathematics from 1969 until his retirement in 2011.

The Department of Mathematics congratulates Dr. Egbert Rijke on publishing his first textbook titled “Introduction to Homotopy Type Theory” with Cambridge University Press.

Professor Joseph Cutrone and senior Virochan Pandit have co-authored a paper titled “Evaluating Fairness of Voting Systems: Simulating Violations of Arrow’s Conditions”, recently published in Springer’s Theory and Decision journal, a well-established peer-reviewed publication […]

The Fall 2025 Algebra and Number Theory Day will be held on Saturday, November 15, 2025 at the University of Maryland. The speakers will be Akira Tominaga, Yueqiao Wu, and Murilo Corato Zanarella from JHU and Zengrui Han, Qihang Li, and Javier Reyes from UMD.

The Department of Mathematics will screen “Counted Out”, a film by Vicki Abeles, on August 14th and September 18th in Hodson Hall. This new hard-hitting documentary shines a light on math as the foundation of democracy and economic opportunity.
