Workshop on Superalgebras in String Theory
There has been renewed interest in the theory of superalgebras, motivated
by developments in string theory and conformal field theory. The theories
which determine the dynamics of branes, for instance, display new types
of algebras of superconformal symmetries. Recent developments in physics
bear the seeds of potentially interesting mathematics.
The aim of this workshop, held under the auspices of the DFG
(German Science Foundation)
priority programme in
String Theory, is to bring together physicists and mathematicians with
the aim of promoting dialogue across the interdisciplinary
boundary.
