10Duality and the coarse assembly map

Autumn School From T-duality via K-theory to Representation Theory

We are glad to announce the upcoming Autumn School "From T-duality via

K-theory to Representation Theory" taking place in Göttingen, September

30th - October 4th.

 

The aim of the Autumn School is to bring together young researchers with

experts in the research areas of T-duality, K-theory, representation theory

and their interplay. The school consists of four mini-courses leading

towards a broad understanding of the topic from different perspectives.

 

Mini-Courses speakers:

 

- Francesca Arici (Leiden)

*C*-algebras and (K)K-theory in solid-state physics*

 

*- *Marco Gualtieri (Toronto)

*Groupoids, Gerbes and Generalized Kähler geometry*

 

*- *Nigel Higson (Penn State)

*C*-algebra K-theory and Tempered Representation theory*

 

- Konrad Waldorf (Greifswald)

*The higher geometry of T-duality*

 

Financial support is available for a limited number of young participants.

The deadline for requesting financial support is the July 15th.

 

We hope seeing many of you in Göttingen!

04/02/2019 | Workshop, Conference

AUSTRALIAN-GERMAN WORKSHOP ON DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY IN THE LARGE

In the first week of the program, we plan an international conference to highlight recent advances in global Riemannian and metric geometry, topology, and geometric analysis to foster communication between experts and early career researchers from Australia and abroad and identify directions to set the stage for future advances.

 

In the second week, we plan to hold the first Australian-German workshop on differential geometry with Australian and German geometers who participated in the conference, focussing on new problems and potential directions of future research that came up in the first week.

 

Organisers: Owen Dearricott ( University of Melbourne), Diarmuid Crowley (University of Melbourne), Thomas Leistner (University of Adelaide), Yuri Nikolayevsky (LaTrobe University), Wilderich Tuschmann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).
