Field Theories and Vertex Algebras

Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa, California

October 2-5, 2022

This conference aims to make progress in the investigation of algebraic structures relevant to 6d fivebrane theories. This involves in particular categorifications or higher analogs of classical structures. This includes the quantum Langlands correspondence, vertex algebras, 3 and 4d manifold invariants.

Location

This conference will be hosted at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa on the beautiful lake Arrowhead in the San Bernardino National Forest in the outskirts of Los Angeles, California.

Travel and Logistics

Lake Arrowhead village is nestled in the San Bernardino National Forest, about 80 miles east of Los Angeles. It's location in "The Alps of Southern California" allows for ample access to hiking, fishing, cycling, and water sports.

Accommodation, talks, and conference activities will be provided for at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa.

Transport to/from the lake will be arranged for participants and leave Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon and return on Wednesday noon.

The nearby town of San Bernardino is accessible from Union Station in Los Angeles via train and bus. There is also bus service from San Bernardino to Lake Arrowhead. It takes about 4 hours from LAX to Lake Arrowhead with public transportation. Weekend hours vary, so if you plan to make your own way do plan ahead. Alternatively, driving directly from LAX takes about 2 hours and an Uber/Lyft ride will cost anywhere between $100-$200 depending on the time of day.

More detailed information regarding lodging and transportation will be emailed to participants later on.
