Program Description: 
The MATRIX program will gather leading experts in problems inspired by string theory in algebraic geometry such as mirror symmetry, one of the most important and influential phenomena in mathematics and mathematical physics. The topics of the program will include Calabi-Yau threefolds (de la Ossa, Candelas, Grimm, McOrist), enumerative invariants (Gukov, Kool, Maulik), the moduli space of curves and in particular FJRW theory and the mirror dual Landau-Ginzburg models (Knapp, Scheidegger), topological strings (Marino, Bourgine), super geometry (Donagi, Maxwell, Anagnostou) and arithmetic geometry (Kim). Each of these topics is fundamentally related to mirror symmetry which will serve as a common thread between the different topics. We have listed a mix of people with more physics-oriented and mathematics-oriented backgrounds to encourage lively interaction and new understanding between the various viewpoints.
