Thematic Program on Geometric Applications of Homotopy Theory
January 1 - June 30, 2007
Description
This research program will develop new applications of homotopy theory in algebraic geometry, number theory and mathematical physics, and will include subprograms on the homotopy theory of schemes, stacks in geometry and topology, and higher categories and their applications.
The overall program organizers are:
Rick Jardine (Western Ontario), Lead Organizer, jardine@uwo.ca
Gunnar Carlsson (Stanford), gunnar@math.stanford.edu
Dan Christensen (Western Ontario), jdc@uwo.ca
The subprograms, and their organizers, are the following:
Note: All subprograms will incorporate graduate courses in addition to the displayed five-day workshops.

Apply to the Program
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community. Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are requested to apply by filling out the application form. Additional support is available (pending NSF funding) to support junior US visitors to this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
