Description:

The School on "SINGULARITIES IN ALGEBRAIC GEOMETRY & STRING THEORY" is an activity of the International Center of Mathematics , and will be held in Complexo Interdisciplinar of Universidade de Lisboa, Av. Prof. Gama Pinto, 2, P-1699 Lisboa Codex, Portugal.

This will be a 10 days long school on the fascinating interface between singularity theory (in complex algebraic geometry) and superstring theory. We will have 6 courses by leading experts on both mathematical and physical aspects of singularity theory.

Speakers: P. Aspinwall (Duke University), V. Batyrev (University of Tuebingen), Ph. Candelas (University of Texas), Le Dung-Trang (Université de Provence), M.S. Narasimhan (International Center for Theoretical Physics), M. Reid (University of Warwick)
