Derived Categories

Workshop Organisers: Professor T Bridgeland (Oxford), Dr J Stoppa (Cambridge) and Professor R Thomas (Imperial)

in association with the Newton Institute programme Moduli Spaces (4 January to 1 July 2011)

Scientific Theme:

This workshop will focus on derived categories of coherent sheaves and their interactions with moduli, stability, invariants, mirror symmetry, string theory, geometric representation theory and knot theory. A more relaxed week of mathematical talks will precede a more intense week of talks with more emphasis on physics.
