First announcement
December 16-19, 2019: Conference on Supergeometry, Supersymmetry and Quantization
Topics:
The conference will bring researchers across both the fields of mathematics and physics together in order to discuss recently developed topics, on-going work and speculative new ideas within supergeometry and its applications in physics. This event offers a unique opportunity to unite physicists and mathematicians who share a common interest in supermathematics. There will be enough time available for discussions between the participants; a poster session for junior researchers will be organized. The main topics include:
- Supermanifolds and their generalizations (e.g., superschemes, color supermanifolds, noncommutative supergeometry...)
- Super Lie groups and Lie superalgebras
- Supergeometric methods in physics
- Geometric aspects of supersymmetric field theories, superstrings, and supergravity
- Mathematical aspects of the BV-BRST formalism
