Courant Research Center Göttingen: Higher order structures in Mathematics

Courant Colloquium Göttingen, Oct 12-14, 2007

The Courant colloquium Göttingen 2007 focuses on young researchers in the field of the Courant Research center "higher order structures in mathematics". Its main goal is, to give young researchers the opportunity to present their research in the areas of and in related or interconnected fields, like geometric group theory, applications to mathematical physics. The focus will be on novel approaches which interconnect the areas described above, and which stress the underlying concepts and higher order structures. Senior keynote speakers will give their view of the current status of the fields and the opportunities which novel categorical approaches are opening up.
