Lagrangians, nodal curves and mirror symmetry on the Hitchin system  by André Oliveira

Описание: Program: Geometric Structures and Stability

ORGANIZERS: Oscar Garcia-Prada (ICMAT, Madrid, Spain) and Pranav Pandit (ICTS-TIFR, Bengaluru, India)

DATE & TIME: 16 February 2026 to 27 February 2026

VENUE: Ramanujan Lecture Hall, ICTS Bengaluru

Recent years have seen major advances in Higgs bundles, higher Teichmüller theory, Bridgeland stability conditions, geometric invariant theory, and in the study of extremal metrics and their relation to stability. At the same time, deep new connections between these areas have been uncovered. These developments have inspired far-reaching conjectures and research programs aimed at uncovering the unifying structures that underlie them.

This program will bring together leading experts and early career researchers to explore these synergies and push forward the emerging research directions. A strong pedagogical component will make the subject accessible to newcomers.

Ramanujan Lectures:

A highlight of the program will be the special Ramanujan Lectures by Professor Nigel Hitchin (University of Oxford), weaving together the threads of the conference and offering perspectives on future directions.

Mini-course speakers:

Gergely Bérczi (Aarhus University)
Brian Collier (University of California, Riverside)
Ruadhaí Dervan (University of Warwick)

Organized in partnership with the Clay Mathematics Institute.
