Braids, mutations and twists in algebra and geometry

Dates: May 31 - June 4, 2021
Location: Ångströmlaboratoriet, Uppsala University, Sweden

The aim of this workshop is to explore the interactions between algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry and representation theory, focusing on categorical braid group actions and their relations to twists and mutations.

Registration for the conference in 2021 will open at a later stage.
