This workshop will focus on the appearance of higher algebra at the interface of geometry, physics, and number theory. This will include important themes in physics and geometry like holography, topological quantum field theory, non-abelian Hodge theory, as well as recent constructions of higher invariants of homotopy theory and number theory, including their connections to the theory of L-functions. Experts from all three areas will come together to deliver leisurely lecture series, and to share ideas and analogies.
