Quantum Field Theories and Representation Theory
Osaka Metropolitan University, Osaka, Japan
Quantum field theory and representation theory are two major subjects in physics and mathematics, whose recent developments are closely related to each other. This is partially because supersymmetric quantum field theories in various dimensions provide many algebraic structures and their representations. The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in supersymmetric quantum field theories and those in representation theory to discuss recent advances in these subjects and find new directions of research.
This workshop is focused on the interplay of quantum field theories (QFTs) and representation theory, and will cover the following topics:
Non-perturbative aspects of QFTs
Supersymmetry and superconformal symmetry
Vertex algebras associated with QFTs
Coulomb branch of 3D supersymmetric QFTs
Algebraic structures arising from string theory and M-theory
