TSVP Thematic Program at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
This TSVP Thematic Program “New Frontiers in Gauge Theory, Topology, and Physics” (TP26GT) at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology aims to bring together researchers working in the following interconnected areas:
Vafa–Witten invariants in four-dimensional gauge theory and its relationship with higher-dimensional gauge theory;
Applications of gauge theory to low-dimensional topology; and
3D mirror symmetry and its mathematical foundations.
The unifying theme is the analysis of gauge-theoretic moduli spaces which arise in various problems at the cutting edge of modern research in geometry, topology, and physics. The moduli spaces we study in each project arise from different problems and applications, however they share common insights and techniques to solve problems. A new discovery in one project may lead to surprising new insights into another project using similar techniques. This interdisciplinary approach will encourage collaboration between mathematicians and physicists with the goal of producing new perspectives on these topics and yielding novel discoveries at the forefront of modern research in fundamental sciences.

Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
OIST was founded in 2011 on the initiative of the Japanese government to contribute to global science and technology, attracting leading researchers from Japan and abroad to establish a world-class research hub and innovative knowledge cluster. As a pioneering graduate university, its mission is to conduct high-class research that bridges disciplines to explore new frontiers of scientific knowledge, educate a new generation of scientific leaders, and catalyze industrial innovation in Okinawa.
Getting here
1919-1 Tancha, Onna-son, Kunigami-gun, Okinawa, 904-0495, Japan
The OIST campus is located in Onna Village, a resort area on the western coast of Okinawa’s main island.
Nestled in a subtropical forest overlooking the sparkling coral seas of the East China Sea, the campus is about an hour’s drive from Naha Airport via the expressway.
Please see the directions page on the OIST website for information on how to get here.
