School Quantum Geometry

Third Erlangen Fall School on Quantum Geometry

Department Mathematik, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg

Erlangen, September 15-18 2014

The Erlangen Fall Schools on Quantum Geometry are a series of interdisciplinary schools on mathematical physics topics surrounding geometry and quantisation. They address postdocs and PhD students from both subjects and aim to provide an overview as well as an in-depth understanding of current research topics at the interface of mathematics and physics.

Courses

The Third Erlangen Fall School on Quantum Geometry involves three intensive lecture series. Each lecture series consists of approximately 6 hours of lectures as well as problem and discussion sessions. They are aimed at a mixed audience of mathematicians and physicists and are accessible to PhD students and postdocs.

  • Teichmüller Theory
    Vladimir Fock, Université de Strasbourg, IRMA
  • Deformations of Operator Algebras and the Construction of Quantum Field Theories
    Gandalf Lechner, Universität Leipzig
  • Geometric Quantization
    Gijs Tuynman, Université Lille 1
