Over the last 36 years, the Annual Workshop on Automorphic Forms and Related Topics has remained a small and friendly conference. This year the conferece will take place May 20-24th in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Those attending range from students to new PhD's to established researchers. For young researchers, the conference has provided support and encouragement. For accomplished researchers, it has provided the opportunity to mentor as well as a forum for exchanging ideas.
The workshop has become internationally recognized for both its high-quality research talks and its supportive atmosphere for junior researchers. Participants present cutting-edge research in all areas related to automorphic forms. These include mock modular forms, Maass wave forms, elliptic curves, Siegel and Jacobi modular forms, special values of L-functions, random matrices, quadratic forms, applications of modular forms, and many other topics.
In addition to research talks, the workshop has, in the past years, featured panel discussion sessions on the topics of grant writing, mentoring and research partnerships, REUs and outreach, and opportunities for international collaborations. Based on the success of these sessions, we plan to have similar panel sessions this year as well.
Here is the poster for the 36th AFW ! Thanks to David Lowry-Duda for providing the images for the modular form.
Each participant is strongly encouraged to give a talk. Talks are typically 20 minutes long.
The goals of this conference are in alignment with the AMS Policy on a Welcoming Environment.
Specifically, "[we strive] to ensure that participants in its activities enjoy a welcoming environment. In all [our] activities, [we seek] to foster an atmosphere that encourages the free expression and exchange of ideas.

We acknowledge that the land granted to Oklahoma State University (OSU) was originally inhabited and cared for by First Americans. We also recognize and acknowledge that OSU resides and operates upon the territorial lands currently inhabited and preserved by citizens of the 39 sovereign Tribal Governments within Oklahoma. As a land-grant institution, OSU is committed to engaging in university and community efforts to represent and honor the proud cultural heritage and history of Native citizens throughout the state and nation, including our students, faculty, staff, and alumni. OSU continues to respect and serve the sovereignty of the original Indigenous People owners and protectors of these lands by cultivating and strengthening our institutional collaborations with sovereign Tribal Nations and their citizens.
The Worskshop is made possible by the support received from the following institutions: thank you!
