Date and time: 

July 19, 2006

The XVth Oporto Meeting on Geometry, Topology and Physics will take place in Oporto, Portugal, from July 20th to 23rd, 2006 (Thursday to Sunday). The aim of the Oporto meetings is to bring together mathematicians and physicists interested in the inter-relation between geometry, topology and physics and to provide them with a pleasant and informal environment for scientific interchange. The web pages of previous meetings can be found at: OM. The XVth Oporto Meeting is a satellite meeting of the International Congress of Mathematicians.

As in previous years, the meeting is focussed on the short courses given by the main speakers (see below for details), which are supplemented by seminars by other participants. The talks are at the advanced graduate or postdoctoral level, and should be of interest to all researchers wishing to learn about recent developments in the overlap between geometry, topology and physics.

The main topic of our XVth edition will be

MATHEMATICAL ASPECTS OF SUPERSYMMETRY
