Homological Mirror Symmetry MIAMI, Jan 27- Feb 1, 2014

同质镜像对称性会议将于2014年1月27日至2月1日在迈阿密大学举行，会议的主要目标是传播结果，并鼓励一批年轻的、职业早期的研究人员加入这些项目。HMS研究中出现的广泛主题需要有公开交流思想的场所，以便研究生和早期职业研究人员能够在当前的主题上保持运转。近年来，这一学科发展非常迅速，这次会议将真正有助于吸引年轻的研究人员。在过去的几年里，物理学家发现了各种新的分类结构。此外，显而易见的是，高级范畴语言非常适合描述现代理论物理中的基石概念。随着我们迈入21世纪的第二个十年，现代几何和理论物理比以往任何时候都更加紧密地交织在一起。在基本粒子物理学即将由大型强子对撞机(LHC)的新实验结果带来一场深刻革命的同时，数学和物理学的思想正在加速融合。这些将有助于在目前开放的众多理论可能性中确定哪些是最适合在高能尺度上解决量子场理论的可能性。与此同时，要为正在提出的新物理理论提供一个合适的框架，还有大量的数学工作要做。我们今天研究的几何对象是这样一个框架的基础：同调镜像对称性是超对称理论中对偶的数学实现，更高的范畴是量子场论的数学基础。这些几何学的新风格，其中范畴结构起着原始作用，肯定将继续在21世纪的理论物理中发挥基础作用。会议网站：http://math.berkeley.edu/~auroux/miami2014.html

The main goals of the Conference on Homological Mirror Symmetry, to be held on January 27-February 1, 2014 at the University of Miami, will be dissemination of results and encouragement a wave of young, early career researchers to join these projects. The wide range of topics appearing in HMS research necessitates venues for the open exchanges of ideas in order for graduate students and early career researchers to stay afloat on current topics. The subject has developed extremely rapidly in recent years, and this conference will really help engage young researchers.Over the last several years, a variety of new categorical structures have been discovered by physicists. Furthermore, it has become transparently evident that the higher categorical language is beautifully suited to describing cornerstone concepts in modern theoretical physics. As we head into the second decade of the 21st century, modern geometry and theoretical physics are more intertwined than ever before. The convergence of ideas from mathematics and physics is accelerating at the same time as elementary particle physics is on the cusp of a profound revolution to be brought about by the new experimental results coming out of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These will serve to identify among the multitude of theoretical possibilities currently open, which ones best address quantum field theory at the high energy scale. At the same time, a lot of mathematical work remains to be done to provide a suitable framework for the new physical theories that are being proposed. The geometric objects which we investigate today are the foundations for such a framework: homological mirror symmetry is the mathematical realization of dualities among super-symmetric theories, and higher categories are the mathematical foundation for quantum field theories. These new flavors of geometry, in which categorical structures play a primordial role, will certainly continue to play a fundamental role in 21st century theoretical physics.The conference website: http://math.berkeley.edu/~auroux/miami2014.html
