Recently, the AdS/CFT duality for the case of AdS3/CFT2 has been understood in quite some detail. In particular, a solvable world-sheet theory has been identified that has been argued to be exactly equivalent to the dual free symmetric orbifold CFT.

The purpose of this conference is to bring together experts in Poisson Geometry, Geometric Representation Theory, and Conformal Field Theory to discuss the recent progress and various interactions of these highly active areas of research.

Recent days have seen a rapid developments on shifted Poisson and symplectic structures on (derived) differentiable or algebraic stacks. A differentiable stack is, roughly speaking, a Lie groupoid up to Morita equivalence, and the stack represented by a symplectic groupoid of a Poisson manifold naturally has a 1- shifted symplectic structure.

Link homology theories emerged about 20 years ago with the celebrated Khovanov homology and Heegaard–Floer homology. These theories categorify respectively the Jones polynomial and the Alexander polynomial, the two most famous polynomial link invariants. These theories are likely to become an essential building block in the seek for a 3+1 quantum field theory (but many hard steps are still to […]

This conference aims to bring together physicists and mathematicians interested in low-dimensional examples of holographic dualities, the orbit method and their interplay via the quantization of coadjoint orbits of the Vi- rasoro group.

The Euler summer school is an event organized every year for all students of the Euler course, an EPFL program for highly gifted youth in mathematics aged 12 to 18 years.

In the last years, there has been important progress in the mathematical understanding of effective theories for interacting quantum gases and classical fluids. Notable examples are Gross-Pitaevskii theory for Bose-Einstein condensates, and the Boltzmann equation for rarefied gases.

Formulating a quantum theory of gravitational interactions remains of the great challenges of modern physics.

The purpose of this workshop is to organise a study group of young researchers on various aspects of the moduli space theory. This includes symplectic, Poisson, and other geometric (e.g. BV) structures, quantisation of moduli spaces as well as calculations of volume and index. Participants are coming from different fields of mathematics and they will […]
