Pan American Advanced Studies Institute on Wall Crossing, Stability Hodge Structures and TQFT- Natal, Brazil

泛美高级研究院(PASI)奖由美国国家科学基金会和能源部(DOE)联合支持，将于2013年2月1日至10日在巴西纳塔尔的北里奥格兰德联邦大学物理研究所举行。由卢德米尔·V·卡扎尔科夫博士组织的为期10天的研究所将汇聚世界上同源镜像对称领域的顶尖研究人员，同源镜像对称是代数几何和弦理论之间不断演变的互动中一个深刻而神秘的部分。预计将有来自辛几何、代数几何、拓扑学、物理学、数学物理、表示论和其他几何领域的多个学科的专家参加。在这一独特的活动中，互动、联合研究和报告最新进展的机会将有助于在代数几何及其与数学物理的互动中最具挑战性、发展最快、最引人注目的领域之一取得进一步突破。PASI有望通过在活动之前、活动中和活动之外开展的合作以及共享资源，加强上述主题的研究和教育的基础设施。卡尔扎尔科夫博士有组织会议的记录，这些会议将附近领域的杰出人士聚集在一起，反过来又带来了重要的发展。菲尔兹奖牌获得者马克西姆·康采维奇博士是PASI上将讨论的许多想法的发起人之一，他对该领域的影响是深远的。PASI将吸引大量初级研究人员，并使他们能够接触到该领域的领头羊。他们对研究生和年轻研究人员的影响可能有助于指导该领域未来的发展。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place in February 1-10, 2013 at the Institute of Physics of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte in Natal, Brazil. Organized by Dr. Ludmil V. Katzarkov, the 10-day institute will bring together leading researchers in the world in the area of homological mirror symmetry, a deep and still mysterious part of the evolving interaction between algebraic geometry and string theory. Experts from a variety of disciplines including symplectic geometry, algebraic geometry, topology, physics, mathematical physics, representation theory, and other areas of geometry are expected to participate. The opportunity for interaction, joint research, and reporting of recent progress at this singular event will help generate further breakthroughs in one of the most challenging, fastest moving, and very compelling areas in algebraic geometry and its interaction with mathematical physics.This PASI is expected to enhance the infrastructure for research and education on the topics mentioned above through collaborations developed before, during and beyond the activity, and by sharing resources. The PI, Dr. Kartzarkov has a track record of organizing meetings that bring together outstanding individuals in nearby fields, leading in turn to important developments. The co-PI, Dr. Maxim Kontsevich, a Fields medalist, is one the initiator of many of the ideas that will be discussed at the PASI and his influence on the field is far reaching. The PASI will attract a large number of junior researchers, and give them access to the pace-setters in the field. Their influence on graduate students and young researchers is likely to help steer the field's development in the future.
