PIMS-Fields Summer School on Algebraic Geometry in High-Energy Physics


(Second Announcement)


June 24-28, 2019


University of Saskatchewan
Saskatoon, SK
Canada


We are excited to announce the PIMS-Fields Summer School on Algebraic
Geometry in High-Energy Physics, to be held in Saskatoon, Canada from June
24th to 28th, 2019.

In the latter decades of the 20th Century, string theory and in particular
mirror symmetry paved the way for new interactions between algebraic
geometry and high-energy physics. For instance, techniques and ideas related
to Calabi-Yau varieties, moduli spaces of curves, enumerative geometry, the
geometric Langlands program, and topological recursion are now staples of
21st Century physics.

This summer school will expose graduate students and postdoctoral fellows
from mathematics to novel applications of geometry in theoretical physics
and, for those from physics, to powerful algebro-geometric techniques that
can be deployed in their work.  The schedule will allow significant time for
questions and discussions.



The summer school will feature:


Special Guest Lectures by:

Nima Arkani-Hamed (Institute for Advanced Study)

Charles Doran (University of Alberta)



Mini-Courses by:

Vincent Bouchard (University of Alberta)

Jonathan Mboyo Esole (Northeastern University)

Yang-Hui He (City University of London / University of Oxford)

Laura Schaposnik (University of Illinois at Chicago) 



Limited travel funding for students and postdocs may be possible on a
first-come, first-serve basis.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1600 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask]


The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
