Workshop: "Algebraic structures in Symplectic Field Theory and Applications"

美国和德国联合研讨会“辛代数结构" 场理论（SFT）和应用”将于2006年8月5日至8月11日在德国莱比锡举行。该研讨会面向辛拓扑的研究人员，以及研究生，博士后和有兴趣探索新兴研究领域的数学家。 研讨会将包括由专家提供的几个密集系列讲座和练习课程 由研究新理论的研究生和博士后管理。计划中的系列讲座将包括以下主题：SFT中出现的新代数结构，SFT与弦拓扑之间的关系，SFT与量子可积系统理论之间的关系;辛场论是一门新兴的学科，它被证明与代数学和辛几何，低维拓扑，数学中的可积系统理论，以及理论物理学中的弦理论。研讨会的目标之一是帮助研究生、博士后和年轻研究人员进入新领域，并帮助协调新理论发展的国际努力。 美国国家科学基金会的资金将专门用于美国研究生和博士后的旅行费用。math.stanford.edu/~lipshitz/SFT.html

A joint US-Germany workshop ``Algebraic structures in Symplectic Field Theory (SFT) and Applications" will take place in Leipzig, Germany in the period August 5--August 11, 2006. The workshop is oriented both towards researchers in Symplectic Topology, as well as graduate students, postdocs, and mathematicians interested in exploring a new emerging area of research. The workshop will consists of several intensive lecture series given by specialists, and of exercise sessions run by graduate students and postdocs studying the new theory. The planned lectures series will cover the following subjects: new algebraic structures arising in SFT, the relation between SFT and string topology; the relation between SFT and the theory of quantum integrable systems; applications of SFT in symplectic topology and beyond.Symplectic Field Theory is a new emerging subject which proved to be relevant to Algebraic and Symplectic Geometries, Low-Dimensional Topology, Theory of Integrable Systems in Mathematics, as well as to String Theory in Theoretical Physics. One of the goals of the workshop is to help graduate students, postdocs and young researchers to enter the new area, as well as to help coordinating the international effort in the development of the new theory. The NSF funding will be used exclusively for travel expenses of US-based graduate students and postdocs.More information can be found on the conrefence web-pagehttp://math.stanford.edu/~lipshitz/SFT.html
