This is the first announcement of the Workshop:
Quantum theory's influences on topology, analysis and geometry
to take place at the University of Copenhagen from May 20 to June 1, 2013.
This two week program focuses on areas where quantum theory has inspired a
confluence of ideas from renormalisation theory, differential K-theory,
topology, geometry and index theory. The main aim of the meeting is to bring
together researchers working from various points of view in these fields, with
a focus on instructional lectures for junior researchers, both mathematicians
and physicists. We therefore strongly encourage junior researchers to attend.
Here is a list of confirmed lecturers and topics:
Christian Baer (Potsdam): TBA
Owen Gwilliam (Berkeley): Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism in QFT
Dominique Manchon (Clermont-Ferrand): Bialgebras and Hopf algebras
applied to renormalization
Thomas Schick (Goettingen): A survey of differential K-theory
Simon Scott (Kings College): Log-TQFTs and exotic torsion
Stefan Weinzerl (Mainz): How multiple zeta values arise in Feynman
integrals
Elmar Schrohe (Potsdam): Index theory of boundary value problems
Bin Zhang (Sichuan): Cones, subdivisions and applications to
renormalization
Participants can apply for financial support towards local expenses, with
preference given to junior participants. The support will be DKK 500 daily
(currently about 74 Euros or $96). Unfortunately, we cannot cover travel
expenses. If you wish to apply for support, please indicate this on the
registration form. Please keep in mind that depending on the amount of
support available, we may be able to offer only one week of support per
participant. The deadline for applying for support is March 15, 2013.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 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. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. 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.
The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
