The proposed workshop aims to promote interaction between mathematicians and physicists, and groups working in related areas. It will be devoted to gathering togetherthese different approaches to DG manifolds as well as identifying new emerging directions. This is becoming more and more urgent as these fields progress. The program will bring together leading experts and young researchers in the...
