The III meeting on Lie systems is going to be held next week (21.09.2015 – 26.09.2015) here in Warsaw. It should be a great chance to catch up with some friends in the ‘Spanish Group’.

Of course you are all wondering what a Lie system is. Well, basically a Lie system is a systems of first-order ordinary differential equations whose general solution can be written in terms of a finite family of particular solutions and a superposition rule. There is a rich geometric theory here and many motivating examples that arise from physics.

I will be attending the autumn school “From Poisson Geometry to Quantum Fields on Noncommutative Spaces” Oct 05–10, in Würzburg, Germany.

There will be a series of lectures:

• Francesco D’Andrea (University of Naples)
  Topics in Noncommutative Differential Geometry
• Martin Bordemann (Univ. Haute Alsace, Mulhouse)
  Algebraic Aspects of Deformation Quantization
• Henrique Bursztyn (IMPA, Rio de Janeiro)
  Poisson Geometry and Beyond
• Simone Gutt (ULB, Brussels)
  Symmetries in Deformation Quantization
• Gandalf Lechner (University of Cardiff)
  Strict Deformation Quantization and Noncommutative Quantum Field Theories
• Eva Miranda (University of Barcelona)
  Poisson Geometry and Normal Forms: A Guided Tour through Examples

It should be very interesting and I hope to learn a lot about subjects that are aligned with my general research area, but alas I have not yet looked into properly.

Also I will be presenting a poster on ‘Graded bundle in the category of Lie groupoids’ which is based on recent work with K. Grabowska and J. Grabowski (arXiv preprint)

The website for the school states that places may still be available.
