School and Workshop on Conformal Blocks, Vector Bundles on Curves and Moduli of Curves

Month: September 2013

Date: September 2--6

Name: School and Workshop on Conformal Blocks, Vector Bundles on Curves and Moduli of Curves

Mini-courses

Four mini-courses of 5 hours each will be held.

Speakers

Prakash Belkale (Univ. North Carolina at Chapel Hill), Angela Gibney (Univ. of Georgia at Athens), Gregor Masbaum (Univ. de Nice Sophia-Antipolis), Aaron Pixton (Princeton University).
