Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Higher categories and topological order ---------------------------------------------------------------- September 26 to September 30, 2022 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/highercattopord ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to exploring and solidifying connections between the mathematical study of higher categories and the exotic physics of topologically ordered systems. The workshop is organized by Jacob Bridgeman, Tobias Osborne, David Penneys, and Julia Plavnik. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/highercattopord Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than May 26, 2022. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. -------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center: -------------------------------- The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
