Dates:
12-16 Dec 2011
Objectives:
The aim of the workshop is to present recent progress and pose new questions at the interface between algebraic geometry, noncommutative algebra, representation theory, and string theory. The main topics will include noncommutative resolutions of singularities, superpotential and Calabi-Yau algebras, matrix factorizations, and the McKay correspondence.
