Modern Perspectives on Deformation Theory and Moduli Spaces
Date: 5 - 9 July 2027
Location: Cetraro, Italy
Event type: Workshop
Organisers: Ruggero Bandiera (Sapienza - Università di Roma); Domenico Fiorenza (Sapienza - Università di Roma); Donatella Iacono (Università degli Studi di Bari Aldo Moro); Cristina Manolache (University of Sheffield); Elena Martinengo (Università degli Studi di Torino); Francesco Meazzini (Sapienza - Università di Roma); Nicola Pagani (University of Liverpool and Università di Bologna)
The conference will examine the two-way relationship between deformation theory and the geometry of moduli spaces. One strand of the programme concerns differential graded Lie algebras and L-infinity algebras, derived and homotopical geometry, and obstruction theories. A complementary strand concerns global moduli problems for curves, stable maps and sheaves, deformation questions for singularities and hyperkähler varieties, and the enumerative invariants attached to these spaces. By placing these topics in a single programme, the meeting will allow researchers who use local, global, categorical and enumerative methods to compare techniques and formulate new questions at their interfaces.
The meeting also celebrates the birthdays of Barbara Fantechi and Marco Manetti and their influential contributions to these subjects.
