Conference on Tropical Geometry and Mirror Symmetry
February 13-17, 2010
Hosted by the University of California, San Diego and funded by the NSF
Organizers: Mark Gross (UCSD), Ilia Itenberg (Strasbourg), Ludmil Katzarkov (Miami), Yan Soibelman (KSU), Ilia Zharkov (KSU)
This is a five day conference, funded by the NSF. The focus will be on symplectic and tropical aspects of mirror symmetry.
There will be limited support for graduate students and postdocs. Please send an e-mail to mgross@math.ucsd.edu to apply.
Directions to the UCSD campus and the AP&M building (Math. Department).
Parking: Parking on the UCSD Campus is free on weekends. You may park in any of the parking lots next to the AP&M building. For a campus map, please click on map. Please do not park in the "reserved" or "A parking only" spaces.
