"Higher Structures in QFT and String Theory" - Registration deadline 12th June

11 May 2021

The Higher Structures in QFT and String Theory conference (12 – 16 July) is A Virtual Conference for Junior Researchers. It aims at bringing together young people pursuing research at the intersection of theoretical and mathematical physics. The talks will take place on Zoom, and will be followed by extended coffee breaks on gather.town - a virtual platform for social interactions and scientific discussions.

Another important aim is to create new (and strengthen already existing) bridges between physics and mathematics. This is especially important for the younger generation of researchers, since the two fields are becoming more and more entangled. In particular, the first part of each talk should be made comprehensive to a broad audience of participants.

Registration is open until 12. 06. 2021.

The conference is free of charge. Make sure to register, if you work in one of the following or related topics!

BRST and BV(-BFV) methods
Dualities in String and M-theory
TQFT, AQFT, and CFT
Perturbative Methods in QFT
