Workshop on Geometric Correspondence of Gauge Theories | (smr 2863)

AGH (Giambiagi Lecture Hall)
Strada Costiera, 11
I - 34151 Trieste (Italy)
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP, Trieste, Italy) is organizing a Workshop on Geometric Correspondence of Gauge Theories, to be held in Trieste from 12 to 16 September 2016.
The Workshop will be co-sponsored by SISSA and INFN.
The main focus of this workshop will be recent developments on exact results in supersymmetric quantum field theories and superstrings on curved backgrounds, and their impact on enumerative geometry, knot theory and representation theory of infinite-dimensional algebras. These developments are mainly driven on the one side by the correspondence between Supersymmetric Gauge Theories in four dimensions and Conformal Field Theories, in two dimensions (AGT conjecture), and on the other side by further insights on the dynamics of supersymmetric quantum field theories in dimension higher than four and M-theory. A key technical tool in these developments is equivariant localization.
Topics:
• moduli spaces and their classical and quantum invariants
• quantum integrable systems
• vertex algebras and their representation theory
• relations to knot theory and Khovanov Homology
• K-theory of quiver varieties
The list of speakers of the Workshop includes:
Mikhail Bershtein (Landau Institute and Higher School of Economics, Russia)
Erik Carlsson (Harvard University)
Sergio Cecotti (SISSA)
Boris Feigin (Higher School of Economics, Russia), tbc
Amihay Hanany (Imperial College, London)
