Organizers: Jerome Gauntlett (Queen Mary & Westfield), Nigel Hitchin (Oxford), Nicholas Manton (Cambridge), Michael Singer (Edinburgh)
Description:
The title of the meeting is interpreted in a broad sense and is deemed to include the classical theory of non-abelian magnetic
monopoles, the impact of recent developments in string theory on monopoles, their role in 4-dimensional supersymmetric
quantum field theories, and related mathematical subjects such as hyperKaehler and quaternionic geometry. Above all, the aim
is to stimulate discussion between mathematicians and physicists with common interests in these areas and to open up key areas
of future research.
