String Geometry Sunday, June 6- Thursday, June 10, 2004 Organizing Committee: The purpose of the workshop is to bring mathematicians and physicists together to talk to each other about string theory. String theory has borrowed from and revolutionized differential and algebraic geometry, and yet despite extraordinary efforts the communication between mathematicians and physicists could be much improved. The goal of this conference is to bring mathematicians and physicists into the same room and make them try to speak to each other about recent research and open problems from both perspectives, especially in the areas of exceptional holonomy manifolds and calibrated cycles. Confirmed participants include: Robert Bryant, Mathematics Department, Duke University; Andrew Strominger, Physics Department, Harvard University; Paul Aspinwall, Mathematics and Physics Departments and Center for Geometry and Theoretical Physics, Duke University; Michael Douglas, Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques and Department of Physics and Astronomy, Rutgers University; S. James Gates Jr., Physics Department, University of Maryland; Brian Greene, Department of Physics, Columbia University; Mark Gross, Mathematics Department, University of California San Diego; Jeffrey A. Harvey, Enrico Fermi Institute and Department of Physics, University of Chicago; Paul Horja, Mathematics Department, University of Michigan; Sheldon Katz, Mathematics and Physics Departments, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign; and David Morrison, Mathematics and Physics Departments and Center for Geometry and Theoretical Physics, Duke University.
