2025 MATRIX Annals Part I
The 2025 MATRIX Annals Part I, the ninth book in the MATRIX Book Series, documents scientific activities at MATRIX in the first half of 2025. Pre-publication versions of the articles in the book are posted below.
We expect that the 2025 MATRIX Annals Part I will be indexed by zbmath and mathscinet.
