Program Description:
This program will gather leading experts in the areas of quantum spectral curves, topological recursion and cluster algebras to address recent advances and proliferate new connections between these fields. Such a meeting is particularly timely as a recent connection between deformation quantisation and topological recursion by Kontsevich and Soibelman. This progress is accompanied by recent progress in quantum cluster algebras and their relation to quantum monodromies of Fuchsian systems. Connections between these fields are apparent from the physics perspective and research is now under way to make rigorous sense of these relationships.
