In 2006 Workshop on Algebraic Geometry and Physics will be part of the 3-month research period on Gerbes, Groupoids, and Quantum Field Theory that will take place at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics (ESI) in Vienna on May through July 2006. The workshop will be the opening event of the 3-month period, on May 9 to 13, 2006, and is being organized by  the Mathematical Physics Group of the International School  for Advanced Studies in Trieste together with the universities of Alessandria, Munich and Vienna and   the Schrödinger Institute.

The programme will start in the morning of May 9 and will end by midday of May 13. Therefore the suggested arrival day is May 8, and the departure day may be May 13 or 14.

This workshop is the 10th event of a series of workshops and schools which aim at fostering the interaction between mathematicians working in pure algebraic geometry and researchers who are interested in the applications of algebraic geometry to physics. Information about the previous events may be obtained from the web page

Accommodation: The secretariat of the Schrödinger institute will take care of the hotel bookings. Accommodation is available  at the Kaiser Franz Joseph Hotel in Sievering, a few trolley stops away from the institute. The cost of accommodation will be of 50 € per night; slightly cheaper accommodations, in the range of 40-42 € per night, are also available. Please note that no support will be available for non-invited speakers.


Participation: Potential participants should fill in the pre-registration form  and send it by email to bruzzo@sissa.it
by February 5, 2006. Pre-registered participants will be contacted by the Schrödinger Institute to finalize their registration.


Those who wish to present a contribution should enclose a short abstract.  Proposed contributions will be assessed by the Scientific Committee and the proponents will be notified about the acceptance  by March 15, 2006.
