Program Description:
Complex analysis and differential geometry are two fundamental areas of mathematics with deep and rich interconnections. Despite their deep and rich interconnections —evident in both mathematics and physics, such as in the study of Calabi–Yau manifolds— researchers in these fields often work in parallel with limited direct interaction. This workshop aims to bridge this gap by bringing together leading experts and early-career researchers from both communities, fostering new collaborations and strengthening existing ones.

With an environment of research excellence and ample collaboration time, participants will engage in meaningful discussions and work on important open problems. A key objective is to strengthen research in complex differential geometry within Australia and cultivate the next generation of researchers in the field. We plan to involve several early-career researchers, who will benefit from a world-class research setting and be encouraged to engage with senior experts during informal discussion sessions.
