F-theory Workshop, 3/19/12 – 3/23/12

Attendee ListView Videos

Organized by Mike Douglas, Dave Morrison and Antonella Grassi

This workshop will explore the recent progress in F-theory, including the detailed structure of elliptic fibrations on Calabi-Yau manifolds, techniques inspired by duality with the heterotic string, the role of flux, the relation to orientifold constructions, and applications to string phenomenology.  Participants will include both mathematicians and string theorists working on these topics of common interest.

Participants:  Lara Anderson, Chris Beasley, Per Berglund, Ralph Blumenhagen, Federico Bonetti, Sergio Cecotti, Herb Clemens, Andrés Collinucci, Mirjam Cvetič, Ron Donagi, Mboyo Esole, James Fullwood, James Gray, Thomas Grimm, Jim Halverson, Johnathan Heckman, Benjamin Jurke, Sheldon Katz, Max Bromo Buenaventura Kerstan, Denis Klevers, Vijay Kumar, Miao Li, Dieter Luest, Joe Marsano, Chris Mayrhofer, Ilarion Melkinov, Maximilian Poretschkin, Natalia Saulina, Rafaelle Savelli, Washington Taylor, Daniel Vieira Lopes, Timo Weigand.
