Conference on Enumerative Geometry, Mirror Symmetry, and Physics

该奖项支持参加2017年7月17日至21日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行的枚举几何，镜像对称和物理学会议。会议的主题在于在数学和物理学之间的边界的21世纪研究的核心。 在这个边界上的研究导致了令人兴奋的新见解和数学的快速进步，同时为物理学提供了新的工具和严格的论据。 会议为传播最近最重要的成果提供了一个必要的场所，并为交流思想和发展新办法和新项目提供了一个环境。会议将汇集来自代数和微分几何，弦理论和超对称场论的顶尖专家，以及他们与拓扑学和表示论的联系，探讨枚举几何，镜像对称和相关物理学（包括模块化现象，拓扑递归，F理论和非微扰现象）中的物理背景和数学问题。会议将重点讨论这些领域的发展和未来前景。更多信息可在会议网站上查阅：http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~nevins/EGMSP.html

This award supports participation in the Conference on Enumerative Geometry, Mirror Symmetry, and Physics held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana, Illinois, from July 17-21, 2017. The topics of the conference lie at the core of twenty-first century research at the boundary between mathematics and physics. Research at this boundary has led to exciting new insights and rapid progress in mathematics, while at the same time providing new tools and rigorous arguments to physics. The conference provides a needed venue for dissemination of the most important recent results and a context for the exchange of ideas and the growth and development of new approaches and new projects. The conference will bring together leading experts from algebraic and differential geometry, string theory and supersymmetric field theories, and their connections to topology and representation theory, to explore physical contexts and mathematical problems in enumerative geometry, mirror symmetry, and related physics (including modularity phenomena, topological recursion, F-theory and nonperturbative phenomena). The conference will focus on these developments and future prospects in these areas. Additional information is available at the conference web site:http://www.math.uiuc.edu/~nevins/EGMSP.html
