General information:

This workshop is part of the FRG "Homological mirror symmetry and applications" (NSF grants DMS-0652630 and DMS-0652633). It will consist of two short courses, plus research talks and informal discussions, over five days. We are planning for 25-30 participants.

Scientific program: the workshop will start on Monday morning (July 19) and end on Friday evening (July 23). The workshop will consist of 3-hour mini-courses, standard research talks, and time for informal discussion.

Accommodation: we have reserved a block of rooms for registered participants at the Kendall Hotel close to the MIT campus. These rooms should be booked through the MIT math department: please contact Jan Wetzel (jan@math.mit.edu) with your arrival and departure dates. The deadline for booking these rooms is June 20, afterwards rates and availability will no longer be guaranteed. (If you haven't told the organizers yet about attending the conference, please do so before contacting Jan).

Travel: Boston Logan Airport is the most convenient airport. Invited participants: When booking flights, please keep in mind NSF travel rules. Only US-based airlines are permitted. We will be able to partially refund travel for invited participants (the precise meaning of "partially" will depend on the final number of participants, and their needs).

How to apply: If you are interested in participating in this meeting, please contact Denis Auroux or Paul Seidel. Partial reimbursement of travel expenses is available. Graduate students will need to attach a short informal letter from their advisor, describing their research and how the workshop is relevant to it. The deadline for applying for financial support is June 1, 2010.

Workshop supported by NSF FRG grants DMS-0652630 and DMS-0652633.
