String field theory, BV quantization, and moduli spaces: May 20 – 24, 2019
Organized by Kenji Fukaya, Owen Gwilliam, Stephan Stolz, Peter Teichner, and Mahmoud Zeinalian. The main aim of this workshop is to strengthen the dialogue between string field theory and quantum field theory, via the shared language of the BV formalism. The BV formalism plays an increasingly important role in the mathematical treatment of QFT, as showcased … Read more
Operator Algebras and Applications: June 17 – 21, 2019
Organized by: Stefan Hollands, Vaughan Jones, Gandalf Lechner, Roberto Longo Since Heisenberg’s and Jordan’s “matrix formulation” of quantum mechanics about one hundred years ago, theoretical quantum physics has been a major incentive for mathematical research into operator algebras. The stimulus from physics has helped the development of this field, founded by von Neumann with the … Read more
Graduate Summer School on the Mathematics and Physics of Hitchin Systems: May 27 – 31, 2019
Organized by Lara Anderson and Laura Schaposnikco-organizers: Sheldon Katz and Joerg Teschner. The school is aimed at graduate students and young postdocs, and will expose participants to some current research topics on the geometry and physics of Higgs bundles. The workshop will have several mini-courses by experts on topics close to their own research, including a … Read more
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.
