Conference: On the Crossroads of Algebra, Geometry, and Physics

“代数、几何和物理的十字路口”会议将于2022年5月16日至20日在耶鲁大学举行。这次会议将围绕代数、几何、表象理论和高能物理等主题，就几个相互关联的领域的最新发展进行演讲。它将促进这些领域专家之间的新互动。会议演讲者是对上述主题做出根本性贡献的顶尖专家，以及职业生涯早期的研究人员。具有广泛背景的与会者将从会议提出的广泛主题中受益。会议的目的是介绍几何表示理论的各个方面的最新发展，包括几何朗兰兹计划和量子群表示理论的几何方面；团簇理论，包括基元Donaldson-Thomas理论和团簇变种和镜像对称性；几何学，包括高阶Teichmueller理论和双曲几何；以及高能物理，包括超对称场论和形变量子化。会议的网站是：https://sites.google.com/view/crossroads2022.This奖反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The conference "On the crossroads of Algebra, Geometry, and Physics" will take place May 16-20, 2022 at Yale University. The conference will feature talks on recent developments in several interrelated fields, organized broadly around the themes of algebra, geometry, representation theory, and high energy physics. It will catalyze new interactions between experts in these fields. The conference speakers are leading experts who have made fundamental contributions to the topics above, as well as early-career researchers. Participants with a broad range of backgrounds will benefit from the wide spectrum of topics presented at the conference.The aim of the conference is to present current developments on various aspects of geometric representation theory, including the geometric Langlands program and the geometric aspects of the representation theory of quantum groups; cluster theory including motivic Donaldson-Thomas theory and cluster varieties and mirror symmetry; geometry, including higher Teichmueller theory and hyperbolic geometry; and high energy physics including supersymmetric field theories and deformation quantization.
