Gauge Theory and String Geometry

This two-week program will explore the intersection of gauge theory and string geometry—two of the most vibrant and foundational areas in modern mathematics and theoretical physics. Week one features five intensive mini-courses taught by internationally recognized experts, focusing on advanced training for PhD students and early-career researchers. Week two transitions into an international research conference showcasing recent developments in areas such as the Atiyah-Floer conjecture, mirror symmetry, and 4-manifold topology. The event aims to foster collaboration across mathematical disciplines, promote the involvement of Australian researchers in global research networks, and stimulate new research directions by bringing together leading experts and emerging scholars.
