Atelier sur les cordes, la dualité et la géométrie

22-25 mars 2000

Organisateurs Eric D'Hoker (UCLA),

The purpose of this informal workshop is to draw together physicists and mathematicians with a shared interest in modern developments in string theory and geometry. In recent years, fundamental connections and interrelations have been established and exploited between string theory, M-theory and brane solutions, mirror symmetry in Calabi-Yau manifolds, integrable systems, supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and Seiberg-Witten theory, to mention just a few. Many of these subjects will be discussed at this meeting, but ample time will be reserved also for informal discussions.
