On November 5, 2024, the "Conference on Algebraic Geometry and Mathematical Physics" jointly organized by the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE) and the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA) officially opened at HSE. This conference marks the first academic event organized by BIMSA and HSE since they signed an international academic cooperation agreement in June 2024. The coordinators of the agreement are Professor Nikolai Reshetikhin and Professor Artan Sheshmani from BIMSA, and Professor Valery Gritsenko from HSE.
One of the highlights of the conference is the participation of four Fields Medalists: Shing-Tung Yau (1982 Fields Medalist), Maxim Kontsevich (1998 Fields Medalist), Andrei Okounkov (2006 Fields Medalist), and Caucher Birkar (2018 Fields Medalist).
Participants will share their latest research findings and engage in in-depth discussions on several cutting-edge topics, including algebraic geometry, quantum field theory, mirror symmetry, and high-dimensional geometry in mathematical physics. The academic presentations will be streamed online and made accessible to a global audience.
