Geometric Structures (re)United
Higgs bundles, geometric structures, and character varieties
Organized by Brian Collier and Laura Schaposnik
University of Illinois at Chicago
Back in 2020 our yearly Higgs bundles meetings at Chicago had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. The year 2021 has not been much better in terms of in-person meetings, and so we have decided to skip these two years and re-unite in 2022.
This weeklong meeting will happen in place of the "Current trends..." and the "School on Higgs bundles" meetings.
A week-long international school and meeting of talks, activities, and workshops
