Abstract
The history of science is full of moments when physics and mathematics both benefited from mutual interaction, with the early twentieth century providing us with two big examples. On one hand, Einstein’s theory of gravitation could not have been developed without the work of Riemann on the geometry of manifolds. On the other hand, the advent of quantum mechanics fostered the development of new mathematics especially in operator algebras. In line with this spirit of interdisciplinarity, the school and workshop ‘KK-theory, Gauge Theory and Topological Phases’ took place from 27 February to 10 March 2017 at the Lorentz Center in Leiden. Francesca Arici and Domenico Monaco report about this event.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
