------------------------------------------------------------------ Final Announcement ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Geometry and Physics 2014" (GAP 2014) Date: May 29 - 31, 2014 Location: Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ***This year's theme is: geometry and supersymmetry.*** Every year, the GAP conference focuses on a current hot research topic at the interface between geometry and physics. The conference usually consists of 4 or 5 mini-courses on different aspects of the chosen theme. This year, GAP 2014 will kick off a few weeks of intense activity at the interface of geometry and physics in Western Canada, continuing with the String Math Summer School [June 2 6, 2014; University of British Columbia] and culminating with the String Math 2014 conference [June 9 13, 2014; University of Alberta]. Our schedule will also allow ample time between talks for discussions. *** A complete schedule of all talks, with abstracts, can be found here: http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~gap/ Organizers: Charles Doran (Alberta), Marco Gualtieri (Toronto), Tristan Hübsch (Howard), Spiro Karigiannis (Waterloo), Ruxandra Moraru (Waterloo), and McKenzie Wang (McMaster). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mini-courses will be given by the following speakers: * Chris Brav (Institute for Advanced Study): Darboux theorem for symplectic derived stacks * Ron Donagi (University of Pennsylvania): Moduli of super Riemann surfaces * José Figueroa-O'Farrill (University of Edinburgh): Spinor equations and supersymmetry * Daniel Waldram (Imperial College London): Supersymmetry, supergravity and generalised geometry In addition, an introductory lecture and a special public lecture will be given by: * James Gates (University of Maryland); * Introductory Lecture: A Showing Of How Physicists & Friends Are Driven * Public Lecture: From the Adinkras of Supersymmetry to the Music of Arnold Schoenberg Registration is not required. Some financial support may be available for graduate students and/or postdoctoral fellows. Please see the conference website for the most up-to-date information. http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~gap/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 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.
