Overview:

Band engineering effectively increasing interaction effects holds the promise for a better understanding and eventual control over quantum many-body states of matter. This can be achieved in va- rious ways, e.g., by globally reducing the bandwidth, by locally inducing high-order Van Hove points, or by designing lattice geo- metries which yield flat bands.

The event will be held in a novel format, with participants atten- ding from two nodes, one in Europe (Dresden, Germany) and one in Asia (Daejeon, Korea). Part of the program will run in hyb- rid mode such that the talks can be attended from both nodes at the same time.

Topics include:

1. • Van-Hove-like singularities
   

2. • Lifshitz transition
   

3. • Flat bands
   

4. • Symmetry and Topology
   

5. • Quantum geometry
   

6. • Fractional Chern insulators
   

7. • Fractional topological insulators
   

8. • Strongly correlated materials
   

9. • Cuprates
   

10. • Ruthenates
    

11. • Vanadates
    

12. • Moiré materials
    

13. • Graphene
    

14. • Electronic instabilities
    

15. • Many-body physics
