Topological recursion assigns to a spectral curve a recursively defined sequence of invariants and it has applications in enumerative geometry, random matrix theory, mathematical physics, string theory, and knot theory, and it agrees with Mirzakhani's recursion for Weil–Petersson volumes.
The aim of this workshop is to give participants, from graduate students to established researchers, a working overview of topological recursion and its applications in enumerative geometry and mathematical physics, together with a picture of current developments.
