项目摘要

The two day "Symposium on Challenges at the Interface of String Phenomenology and Geometry" will take place on July 6th and 7th, 2017 as part of the events of the 16th International String Phenomenology 2017 conference that will be held July 3-7, 2017 at Virginia Tech. The goal of the symposium is to promote and facilitate interdisciplinary research in mathematics and physics. The symposium will bring together talented researchers from a diverse range of institutions and backgrounds to address pressing problems at the interface of algebraic/differential geometry, commutative algebra, and string theory. The symposium will consist of one day of invited plenary talks from leading researchers in the field, along with an afternoon of parallel sessions which will invite the contributions of junior and other researchers from around the world. The broader impacts of this event will include the training of graduate students and the increase of interdisciplinary dialog between mathematicians and physicists.Since its inception in 2002 at the University of Oxford, the annual String Phenomenology conference series has grown immensely and become a focal point for researchers working across a wide range of topics in string theory, particle phenomenology, cosmology and mathematics. It provides a forum to bring together active, young researchers from around the world to address the pressing question - Can string theory provide a model of observable physics? However, any path towards an answer to this question must lead to the cutting edge of modern mathematics. In string compactifications the unanswered questions of physics become those of geometry and lead to novel approaches to questions ranging from invariants of singular spaces to birational correspondences and the classification of algebraic varieties, from Mirror Symmetry to the Geometric Langlands program. A symposium to foster such interdsiciplinary dialog between mathematicians and physicists is timely and important. Topics covered by the symposium will include Differential Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, and Computational methods in Commutative Algebra.

为期两天的“弦现象学和几何界面挑战研讨会”将于2017年7月6日和7日举行，作为将于2017年7月3日至7日在弗吉尼亚理工大学举行的第16届国际弦现象学2017会议的一部分。研讨会的目标是促进和促进数学和物理学的跨学科研究。研讨会将汇集来自不同机构和背景的有才华的研究人员，以解决代数/微分几何，交换代数和弦理论界面的紧迫问题。研讨会将包括一天的邀请该领域主要研究人员的全体会议，以及一个下午的平行会议，将邀请来自世界各地的初级和其他研究人员的贡献。这一事件更广泛的影响将包括培养研究生和增加数学家和物理学家之间的跨学科对话。自2002年在牛津大学成立以来，一年一度的弦现象学系列会议已经发展壮大，成为弦理论、粒子现象学、宇宙学和数学等领域研究人员的焦点。它提供了一个论坛，将世界各地活跃的年轻研究人员聚集在一起，讨论一个紧迫的问题——弦理论能否提供一个可观测物理学的模型？然而，任何通往这个问题答案的道路都必须通向现代数学的前沿。在弦紧化中，未解的物理问题变成了几何问题，并导致了从奇异空间的不变量到双空间对应和代数变体的分类，从镜像对称到几何朗兰兹程序等问题的新方法。一个促进数学家和物理学家之间这种跨学科对话的研讨会是及时和重要的。研讨会的主题将包括微分几何、代数几何和交换代数中的计算方法。会议网址为http://www.cpe.vt.edu/stringpheno17/index.html。
