The classification of topological string theories
This meeting is geared especially towards topology PhD students who are
beginning their studies within the orbit of the TTT. Everyone who wishes to participate is welcome: we shall operate the usual
arrangements for assistance with travel expenses. Please email Nige Ray nige@maths.man.ac.uk if you are
interested in attending, so that we can cater for appropriate numbers.
The meeting is partially supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the London
Mathematical Society.
How to get there
If you need help in finding the Mathematics (the
tallest building on Oxford Road!), there is more information at the new University of Manchester's Homepage. We expect demolition of the building to begin in January; as the last meeting of the TTT within its walls, this promises to be a historic occasion!
