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

同调镜像对称性会议的主要目标，将于1月27日至2月1日，2014年在迈阿密大学举行，将是结果的传播和鼓励一波年轻的，早期的职业研究人员加入这些项目。HMS研究中出现的广泛主题需要开放的思想交流场所，以便研究生和早期职业研究人员能够在当前主题上保持漂浮。近年来，这个学科发展非常迅速，这次会议将有助于吸引年轻的研究人员。在过去的几年里，物理学家们发现了各种新的范畴结构。此外，更高的范畴语言非常适合描述现代理论物理学中的基础概念，这一点已经变得非常明显。当我们进入21世纪的第二个十年时，现代几何学和理论物理学比以往任何时候都更加交织在一起。数学和物理学的思想正在加速融合，同时基本粒子物理学正处于大型强子对撞机（LHC）新实验结果带来的深刻革命的尖端。这些将有助于在目前开放的众多理论可能性中确定哪些最适合在高能尺度上处理量子场论。与此同时，还有大量的数学工作要做，以便为正在提出的新物理理论提供一个合适的框架。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。这些新的几何风格，其中范畴结构发挥了原始的作用，肯定会继续发挥基础作用，在21世纪世纪理论物理。会议网站：http://math.berkeley.edu/~auroux/miami2014.html
