mini-workshop on 

topological recursion

About the workshop

The focus of the workshop is on recent progress in topological recursion

Starting with an appropriate spectral curve as initial data, topological recursion computes a variety of enumerative and/or algebro-geometric invariants. The list of applications includes Hurwitz numbers, Gromow-Witten invariants of toric CY3, BPS invariants, and more. The workshop offers an interactive learning environment between researchers in Japan and young active experts in topological recursion. We aim to provide plenty of time for discussions to trigger new collaborations.

Date : April 17 - 19 (talks), April 20-21 (free discussions)              

Place : Graduate School of Mathematical Sciences, University of Tokyo, Room 002.
