Topology, Stratified Spaces and Particle Physics Summer School

August 8 - 12, 2016, The Fields Institute

Location: The Fields Institute

Description

The Summer School is designed to introduce graduate and advanced undergraduate students to the area of stratified spaces and emerging ties to mathematical physics. The program will be an opportunity for young researchers and graduate students to broaden their perspectives, and to create research ties with each other and with more senior colleagues.

Summer School courses

Intersection spaces and applications in topology, geometry and physics
Markus Banagl, University of Heidelberg

Introduction to intersection homology
