Mathematics of Fields and Strings 2026

About the Conference

Mathematics of Fields and Strings is a conference series aimed at bringing together researchers working at the interface of mathematics and quantum field theory. The 2026 edition places particular emphasis on holomorphic-topological field theories, vertex algebras, representation theory, BPS invariants, and integrability. Our goal is to foster in-depth discussions on recent developments and emerging connections among these topics.

We believe that in-person interactions and discussions are essential for achieving the scientific goals of the meeting. The program will therefore consist exclusively of on-site talks and discussions.
