Basic info about the workshop

2024 KIAS-APCTP
Frontiers of Theoretical Physics

This workshop brings together theoretical physicists working on quantum field theory (QFT), string theory, and related areas, along with mathematicians specializing in algebraic geometry and experts in machine learning. The goal is to share recent advances, explore opportunities for collaboration, and build bridges between these diverse fields. A central focus will be on the role of QFT and string theory, improving their connections and relevance to various domains of theoretical physics, while also incorporating insights from algebraic geometry and cutting-edge machine learning techniques. By encouraging interdisciplinary dialogue, the workshop aims to address outstanding challenges in fundamental physics and pave the way for new approaches and solutions.
