Geometry and Mathematical Physics: Conference in Madrid, Spain, - Sept. 4-Sept.9, 2006

这个项目共同赞助了一个名为“纪念奈杰尔·希钦的几何会议”的会议。本次会议将于2006年9月4日至9日在西班牙马德里举行。它是2006年国际数学家大会的卫星会议。它的科学重点是关注由数学物理产生的微分几何和代数几何的当前和未来发展。重点关注辛几何、Kahler几何、爱因斯坦几何、旋量和扭量几何、广义Kahler几何、gerbes几何和拓扑、特殊完整几何、可积系统以及相关领域的模问题。从物理学到这次会议的主要推动力来自引力理论、弦理论和镜像对称。通过提议的会议，所有这些领域的主要实践者将以不同的方法展示最新的发展，为会议参与者提供一系列问题和想法的总体视图。会议将探讨未来的发展。本次会议将保持几何和数学物理之间的互动，并将所有职业水平的从业者与这一研究主题集群的前沿联系起来，从而维持数学和数学物理这一领域的劳动力基础。会议将发表论文集。更多信息可以在会议网站上找到：//www.mat.csic.es/webpages/conf/hitchin2006/

This project co-sponsors a conference titled "A Geometry Conference in Honor of Nigel Hitchin". This conference will take place from September 4, 2006 to September 9, 2006 in Madrid, Spain. It is a Satellite Conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians 2006. Its scientific focus is concerned with the current and future development of differential and algebraic geometry arising from mathematical physics. Key topics for concerns are symplectic geometry, Kahler geometry, Einstein geometry, spinor and twistor geometry, generalized Kahler geometry, geometry and topology of gerbes, geometry of special holonomy, integrable systems, and the associated moduli problems in respective areas. The key impetus from physics to this conference comes from gravitational theory, string theory and mirror symmetry. Through the proposed conference, leading practitioners in all these areas with different approaches will present most recent development, provide conference participants with an overall view of a cluster of issues and ideas. The conference will explore future development. This conference will sustain the interaction between geometry and mathematical physics, and bridge practitioners at all career levels to the frontier of this cluster of research topics, and hence sustain the workforce base in this area of mathematics and mathematical physics. The conference will publish a proceeding. More information can be found on the conference web sitehttp://www.mat.csic.es/webpages/conf/hitchin2006/
