Holder of the AXA-IHÉS Chair of Mathematics
Certainly, geometry in the 21st century with physical application, will involve the study of new kinds of objects with categorical structures playing a primordial role.
Maxim Kontsevich has been a force of nature in creating these new categorical structures in the last 20 years.
The goal of this conference is to celebrate his contributions to Mathematics and Physics.
This meeting will contribute to disseminate results on a variety of subjects and will serve a perfect opportunity for young scientists to get involved in top research.
