This program will gather leading experts in the areas of mathematical physics, topological recursion, and low-dimensional topology to address recent advances and explore new connections between these fields.

Organisers:

Motohico Mulase (University of California, Davis), Craig Hodgson (The University of Melbourne), Paul Norbury (The University of Melbourne), Norman Do (Monash University), Neil Hoffman (Oklahoma State University)

Registration:

• Deadline extended to 20 October 2016
• Only one registration is required. Please add all events associated with this program (see links below) to the Event Cart before checkout
• Participation is by invitation only
