Topology plays an important role in much of
modern condensed matter physics. This has led to exciting new results, ranging
from new perspectives on symmetry breaking and the classification of phases of
matter, to applications in quantum computing. Moreover, insights from physics
have led to new results in mathematics, and vice versa, making this a truly
interdisciplinary field. The aim of this workshop is to bring together
mathematicians and physicists interested in topological physics (interpreted in
a broad sense), with a view towards condensed matter theory. Apart from invited
talks by leading experts, it will feature contributed talks, giving early
career researchers the opportunity to present their work to a broad audience.
Some participants may be interested in the workshop Topological QuantumSystems in Real and Momentum-Space and Beyond, held at the same
location from 21 to 23 April (immediately preceding this workshop), and
organised by the Polytopo COST action. This is a separate event and will
require a separate registration. More details can be found on their website.
