AGTP: School on Algebraic Geometry and Theoretical Physics

The focus of the school is on the topics relevant to both algebraic geometry (AG) and theoretical physics (TP): applications of derived categories, orbifold geometry, mirror symmetry, curve counting, string theory, TQFT, etc. There will be a number of introductory mini-courses, as well as individual talks presenting some of the recent developments.
