CIMPA-UNESCO-BURKINA
FASO
School
Index Theory and Interactions with Physics
Objectives :
The
aim of the school is to introduce the audience to one of the pillars of 20th century
mathematics, namely index theory, a topic at the cross-roads of various
areas of mathematics including geometry, topology and analysis, with many
applications in theoretical physics. Index theory is still a very active
area of research with many intersting recent developments around the family
index theorem and the noncommutative analog of the classical index theorem
Organizers:
Akry Koulibaly (Ougadougou, Burkina Faso), Sylvie Paycha (Clermont-Ferrand,
France)
