Singular geometry and Higgs bundles in string theory October 30 to November 3, 2017 American Institute of Mathematics, San Jose, CA Organizers: Lara B. Anderson, Jonathan Mboyo Esole, and Laura Schaposnik Description: This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the study of exciting developments around Higgs bundles, real algebraic geometry and string theory. The purpose of the workshop is to bring the leading key researchers of related fields together with young mathematicians and physicists to establish and investigate new problems and applications of the theory of Higgs bundles. Deadline: May 30, 2017 Details: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/singularhiggs
