YOUNGST@RS - Physics and Number Theory

20 Jan 2025, 14:00 → 23 Jan 2025, 17:30 Europe/Berlin

Mainz Institute for Theoretical Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University

The aim of this workshop is to bring together young researchers interested in applying tools and techniques from number theory to problems in physics and vice-versa. For example, periods often play a central role in arithmetic geometry and the very same periods are important in the study of topological string theory and Feynman integrals.

Other fields of common interest to both communities include the study of modular forms, variations of Hodge structure, complex multiplication and conformal field theory, etc. We hope to hear from experts on all of these topics and more!
