The main goal of this school is to introduce graduate students, postdocs and senior researchers to several active fields of current research in the theory of moduli spaces and their interplay with geometry, topology and theoretical physics. The school is organized within the ICMAT Research Term on the Geometry and Physics of Moduli Spaces.
PROGRAMME
The school will consist of 4 introductory courses:
- Sergei Gukov (Caltech): From Higgs bundles to knots and 3-manifolds
- Nigel Hitchin (Oxford): Spectral curves
- François Labourie (Orsay): Cyclic surfaces and Hitchin components
- Peter Topping (Warwick): The Teichmueller harmonic map flow and minimal immersions
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: 31st March, 2014
VENUE: The school will take place in Miraflores de la Sierra, a small village located 49 Km North of Madrid, Spain.
