2004 Workshop on Algebraic Geometry and Physics |
Lisbon, IST, 7-12 September
2004
The Department of Mathematics of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, in collaboration with the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA) in Trieste, is organizing the 2004 Workshop on Algebraic Geometry and Physics, that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, from Tuesday 7 to Sunday 12, September 2004.
This event is part of a series of workshops and schools organized since 1996 by SISSA in collaboration with other institutions.
Topics covered will include recent interface between matrix models, integrable systems and algebraic geometry.
