Goals

The geometric Langlands correspondence lies at the core of one of the most significant current interactions between geometry and physics, integrating far-reaching discoveries and conjectures originating in physics, geometry, representation theory and arithmetic. This advanced school is designed to deliver training on this interdisciplinary topic. It is targetted at graduate students, postdocs and researchers working in geometry and physics at an international level.
