Event Details

May 12-17, 2024

The Institute of Mathematics at the University of Granada will host the "Generalized Geometry meets String Theory" workshop at the University of Granada (IMAG) in Spain, from May 12 - 17, 2024.

The workshop "Generalized Geometry meets String Theory'' will bring together mathematicians and physicists. Two distinct scientific cultures and research communities will come together and exchange their radically different views and ideas on the very same mathematical structures which govern the large scale structure of our universe as well as the quantum realm.

We anticipate a thrilling event leading to new insights and questions about how Einstein's theory of gravity can be generalized geometrically to naturally include physically expected quantum properties. Hot topics include: generalized Einstein metrics, deformation theory of generalized geometric structures, geometry of string theoretic moduli spaces and the Swampland Programme.
