A three-day workshop on higher structures in deformation theory and applications
Deformation theory appears in a wide number of subject areas such as algebraic geometry, Poisson geometry and deformation quantization, symplectic topology, singularity theory and representation theory and studies the behaviour of mathematical objects (algebras, varieties, categories, ...) in families.
This workshop, funded by the Research Training Group "Cohomological Methods in Geometry", looks to bring together early-career researchers working on particular aspects or applications of higher structures in deformation theory. It is a BYODP event (Bring Your Own Deformation Problem). The scientific programme consists of one 3-lecture course by Andreas Kraft on deformation theory via L∞ algebras, and one 6-lecture course by Jon Pridham on derived deformation theory as well as contributed talks by early-career researchers.
