Conferences
BPS states, mirror symmetry, and exact WKB II
The University of Sheffield, 5-9 September 2022
About the conference
This conference will be centred on recent progress on BPS invariants, which sit at a focal point of interaction between enumerative algebraic geometry (Donaldson-Thomas theory), quantum field and string theory (BPS spectra of N=2 theories), and the theory of complex differential equations with irregular singularities.
The conference will provide a window into current topical research and it is conceived as an invitation targeted primarily at graduate students and non-specialists in the field.
The meeting will feature in particular four introductory survey lectures by world-leading experts, as well as more advanced research talks. We also aim to provide ample opportunity of collaboration and discussion in a workshop-style setting, usually with no more than four hours of talks each day.
The meeting is funded by the EPSRC grant "Mirror symmetry, quantum curves and integrable systems".
