Abstract

DMS-0101066 Alejandro Adem This award provides partial support for participants to attend a Workshop on Mathematical Aspects of Orbifold String Theory to be held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, May 4 through May 7, 2001. The workshop will bring together groups of mathematicians and physicists to identify and outline emerging problems associated with diverse mathematical developments arising in orbifold string theory. In particular this event will foster interdisciplinary research involving mathematical physics, algebraic geometry, differential geometry, algebraic topology and representation theory. Recent Ph.D.'s and graduate students are especially encouraged to attend and apply for support. Further information, including invited speakers, schedule of talks, housing information and a registration form is available at http://www.math.wisc.edu/~conklin/ost
