Autumn School From T-duality via K-theory to Representation Theory

We are glad to announce the upcoming Autumn School "From T-duality via

K-theory to Representation Theory" taking place in Göttingen, September

30th - October 4th.

 

The aim of the Autumn School is to bring together young researchers with

experts in the research areas of T-duality, K-theory, representation theory

and their interplay. The school consists of four mini-courses leading

towards a broad understanding of the topic from different perspectives.

 

Mini-Courses speakers:

 

- Francesca Arici (Leiden)

*C*-algebras and (K)K-theory in solid-state physics*

 

*- *Marco Gualtieri (Toronto)

*Groupoids, Gerbes and Generalized Kähler geometry*

 

*- *Nigel Higson (Penn State)

*C*-algebra K-theory and Tempered Representation theory*

 

- Konrad Waldorf (Greifswald)

*The higher geometry of T-duality*

 

Financial support is available for a limited number of young participants.

The deadline for requesting financial support is the July 15th.

 

We hope seeing many of you in Göttingen!

Autumn School on Large Scale Geometry

Large scale geometry (a.k.a. coarse geometry) is the paradigm of studying metric spaces from "far away'', neglecting all the local information and just focusing on features of the space at infinity. The aim of this school is to introduce terminology and techniques from large scale geometry and to show how they can be used in a variety of contexts. These include (but are not limited to) geometric group theory, index theory, operator algebras, (geometric) topology.

 

The school will feature four minicourses by leading experts in the field, each of them consisting of four 50-minutes lectures plus one exercise/discussion session. The minicourses will be aimed at a broad audience.

 

Young participants are also encouraged to present their research with a short talk in a "gong-talk" session.

Kickoff meeting of the SPP2026

We are happy to invite you to the Kickoff meeting of the second funding period of SPP 2026. The principal goal of this meeting is to bring together all SPP members (principal investigators, employees in SPP-projects and associated members) involved in projects funded in the second period.

Start: Friday, 19/11/2021 11:59 am
End: Saturday, 20/11/2021 01:59 pm
