The University of Pensylvania Research
Training Group in Mathematical Physics and the
Math/Physics Research Group (MPRG) are organizing the
2009 RTG Graduate Summer School 'Geometry of quantum fields and strings',
that will take place on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, June 8-20, 2009.
This two week workshop will serve as a boot camp for training young
researchers who are currently enrolled in mathematics or physics
graduate programs in US institutions. The students accepted to the
workshop will be trained in current exciting research directions
interfacing algebraic geometry, quantum field theory, geometric
representation theory, algebraic topology, and string theory. The
students will be split into mentoring groups each of which will meet
every morning with a math or physics faculty mentor who will guide
them through interesting results and problems on a specific research
chosen topic. In addition the mentors will give one or more afternoon
lectures on current research accomplishments in mathematical physics.
Interested students should apply by filling the
Online Application Form
The deadline for applications is April 30, 2009. Please make sure
to provide the email address of your Ph.D. adviser or any other
approriate faculty member who can write a reference letter for you.
