DESCRIPTION:\nMathematics Inspired by Physics    A Conference in Honor o
 f Yan Soibelman's Contributions    June 1 & 2 2026    at IHES - Mar
 ilyn and James Simons Conference Center \; Léon Motchane Amphitheater  
  How to get to IHES\nRegistration is free but compulsory. \n\nYan Soibel
 man\, professor of mathematics at Kansas State University\, has made influ
 ential contributions at the interface of geometry\, algebra\, and theoreti
 cal physics. His early work on quantum groups and braided categories helpe
 d shape modern interactions between representation theory and mathematical
  physics. His work is strongly inspired by ideas from quantum field theory
  and string theory\, which he helps translate into rigorous mathematical f
 rameworks.\nIn collaboration with Maxim Kontsevich\, he has played a centr
 al role in the development of mirror symmetry\, including various fundamen
 tal results in the theory of operads and A  ͚ categories. He also introd
 uced key concepts such as motivic Donaldson–Thomas invariants\, the Kont
 sevich–Soibelman wall-crossing formula\, and cohomological Hall algebras
 . His work has had a lasting impact on areas where physics drives new math
 ematical insights.\n \nThe conference will celebrate Yan Soibelman's cont
 ributions by bringing together experts to present recent advances & foster
  interaction across fields as well as engaging early-career researchers in
  these exciting developments.\nSpeakers:\n\n\nVeronica Fantini\, Laboratoi
