General information:

This workshop is part of the FRG "Homological mirror symmetry and applications". It will consist of three or four short courses, plus research talks and informal discussions, over five days. We are planning for 20-30 participants.

Scientific program: the workshop will start on Monday morning (May 26) and end on Friday evening (May 30). The workshop will have 3-hour mini-courses by Mark Gross, Tobias Ekholm, and Katrin Wehrheim with Chris Woodward (jointly). Beyond that, we will have standard research talks, and time for informal discussion.

Accommodation: we have reserved a block of rooms at the Marriott Residence Inn 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/departure dates. The deadline for booking these rooms is April 23, afterwards rates and availability will no longer be guaranteed.

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).

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