Summer school on GW invariants

About the Conference

The summer school revolves around Gromov-Witten invariants, both from an algebraic geometric and symplectic topological perspectives. It is aimed at Master and early PhD students; the format is that of two mini-courses, accompanied by one exercise session each, as well as three talks by invited speakers.

Speakers

The two minicourses will be ensured by Amanda Hirschi and by Jérémy Guéré. The three accompanying talks will be given by Thomas Blomme, Thomas Guidoni and Gurvan Mével. More informations coming soon!

Schedule

All lectures take place at the campus "Lombarderie/Michelet" of the University of Nantes, in the Room 112 at the bottom floor of Building 26. Here is the approximate address of the building, and here is a detailed plan of the campus to precisely locate it. Lunch will be at the university cafeteria, at the campus "Tertre", at the building denoted "RU Tertre" in this map.

Titles and abstracts

Available here.

Funding

Lunch at the university cafeteria will be covered for all participants. One collective dinner at a restaurant will also be offered for all participants. On the other hand, we unfortunately do not have enough funds to cover for travel and accommodation expenses, so we invite all the participants to search for some funding. (This said, c.f. later section about registration.)

Travel Information

Nantes has an international airport and a train station that is well connected to Paris. (Note that Google Maps might not have accurate data on local transportation within Nantes; you can look up itineraries on the Naolib webpage.) Whereas the train station is located right in the city center, the airport is further away, and there are two options to get back to civilization from there.

• The cheap (1.70€) way. The first step is to take bus 38 at the airport, direction Greneraie. Then Depending on your destination, several combinations are possible:
  • get off bus 38 at Greneraie, then take bus 4 direction Foch-Cathédrale;
  • get off bus 38 at Pirmil, then take tram 2 direction Orvault-Grand Val;
  • get off bus 38 at Pont-Rousseau-Martyris, then take tram 3 to Marcel-Paul.
• The fast option (10€). Take the Navette Aéroport; this takes you to Commerce (via the train station and Lieu Unique, which are the only two intermediate stops). This takes about 20 minutes.
