A Workshop on Challenges at the Interface of Hitchin Systems and String Theory: March 18 – 22, 2019
Organized by Lara Anderson and Laura Schaposnik Co-organized by Rafe Mazzeo and Tony Pantev The workshop will be devoted to recent exciting developments related to Higgs bundles and the Hitchin fibration, and string theory. The purpose of the workshop is to bring key leading researchers of related fields together with young researchers to establish new directions and […]
Automorphic Structures in String Theory: March 4 – 8, 2019
Organized by Terry Gannon, David Ginzburg, Axel Kleinschmidt, Stephen D. Miller, Daniel Persson, Boris Pioline The purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop is to investigate connections between string theory, automorphic forms, mock modular forms, and beyond.Automorphic representations are part of the basic language of the Langlands program, while at the same time playing […]
Geometry and Physics of Hitchin Systems: January 22 – June 21, 2019
Organized by Lara Anderson and Laura Schaposnik Hitchin systems have found remarkable applications in many different areas of mathematics and physics. In particular, Hausel and Thaddeus related Higgs bundles to mirror symmetry, and in the work of Kapustin and Witten, Higgs bundles were used to give a physical derivation of the geometric Langlands correspondence. Moreover, […]
