The Mathematical Physics Group of the International School for Advanced Studies in Trieste and the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova organize a workshop on the applications of algebraic geometry to physics (WAGP2002). The workshop will focus on K-THEORY, DERIVED CATEGORIES AND STRINGS and will take place on June 18 to 21, 2002, at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Genova. The suggested arrival day is June 17 and the departure day June 22.

The workshop is the sixth event of a series which aims at fostering the interaction between mathematicians working in pure algebraic geometry and researchers who are interested in applications ofalgebraic geometry to physics. Information about the previous events (WAGP96, WAGP97, SAGP99, WAGP2000, SAGP2001) may be obtained from the web page http://www.sissa.it/fm/workshops.html

Minicourses:

M. Douglas,D-Branes on Calabi-Yau
H. Gillet, Introduction to K-theory
T. Pantev, Dualities and D-branes
P. Seidel,  Some (hopefully) useful homological algebra
 

Invited Talks:

A. Caldararu, Stable singularities may not be stable, after all
R. Donagi, The gerbe of Higgs bundles
R.P. Horja, Derived categories and mirror symmetry
R. Minasian, Kaluza-Klein bundles and manifolds of exceptional holonomy
R. Szabo, D-branes, tachyons and K-homology
A. Tomasiello, Superpotentials for branes in Calabi-Yau manifolds
G. Vezzosi, Homotopy Algebraic Geometry

The programme will also include some shorter communications.

Genova is a city of about 700,000 inhabitants, located half-way along a coast ("Riviera Ligure'') well known for its beauty. It has a large and old historic centre. The nearest beaches (very often located in picturesque villages) may be reached in about 20/30 minutes from downtown.Information about the city and the surroundings may be obtained from the web page http://www.apt.genova.it

Participants will be accommodated in hotels in downtown Genova. Low-cost lunches will be available at the University Cafeteria in the campus where the Department of Mathematics is located. The cost of accommodation and meals for a 4-night stay may vary from 350 to 500 euros.

WAGP2002 is the sixth event of a series of workshops and schools on algebraic geometry and physics. The previous events took place in 1996 in Trieste (WAGP96), in 1997 in Medina del Campo, Spain (WAGP97), in 1999 in Marseille Luminy (SAGP99), in 2000 in Trieste (WAGP2000) and in 2001 in Como (SAGP2001). Information about these activities may be gathered from the web links here under.
