Hitchin 70

Date: 5 - 16 September 2016

Location: QGM, Aarhus University; Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford; Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas, Madrid

Organisers: Luis Álvarez-Cónsul (ICMAT), Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen (Aarhus), Steven Bradlow (UI, Urbana-Champaign), Andrew Dancer (Oxford), Oscar García-Prada (ICMAT), Frances Kirwan (Oxford), Henrik Pedersen (IMADA), Yat Sun Poon (UC, Riverside), Andrew Swann (Aarhus)

This event, in celebration of Nigel Hitchin’s 70th birthday and in honour of his contributions to mathematics, will take place across three locations and consist of two specialized workshops and a conference aimed at a general audience of geometers:

  • Hitchin 70: Differential geometry and quantization, Aarhus, September 5-8
  • Hitchin 70, Oxford, September 9-11
  • Hitchin 70: Celebrating 30 years of Higgs bundles and 15 years of generalized geometry, Madrid, September 12-16

The workshops in Aarhus and Madrid will provide a unique opportunity for researchers and current PhD students to learn about recent exciting developments and exchange ideas in some of the areas most closely associated with Hitchin’s name and most influenced by his work.  The speakers at the Oxford event will include towering figures in mathematics whose own research has been influenced by Hitchin’s.
 

Oxford, September 9-11, 2016

Speakers: Michael Atiyah (Edinburgh), Sasha Beilinson (Chicago), Fedor Bogomolov (CIMS), Philip Candelas (Oxford), Bill Goldman (Maryland), Klaus Hulek (Leibniz), Maxim Kontsevich (IHES), Marta Mazzocco (Loughborough), Shigefumi Mori (Kyoto)

Local organizers:  Andrew Dancer and Frances Kirwan
