Mathematica School in Theoretical Physics: Advanced Topics in Conformal Field Theory

Administration

Description

MAIN TOPIC: Conformal Field Theories in Higher Dimensions and the Conformal Bootstrap

The Aim of the School is to bring together theoretical physicists of all levels who want to learn both Mathematica and a selected advanced research topic on Theoretical Physics.  The courses on Mathematica will be given focusing on examples borrowed from the topic related to conformal symmetry in field theory.  Previous editions of the School took place in Porto (2009 and 2010), Waterloo (2011) and São Paulo (2012).  See http://msstp.org/ for more information about the previous schools.
