Supergeometry, supersymmetry and quantization

Aim and scope

The conference will bring researchers across both the fields of mathematics and physics together in order to discuss recently developed topics, on-going work and speculative new ideas within supergeometry and its applications in physics. This event offers a unique opportunity to unite physicists and mathematicians who share a common interest in supermathematics. There will be enough time available for discussions between the participants and there will be a poster session.

Main Topics:

Supermanifolds and their generalizations (e.g., superschemes, color supermanifolds, noncommutative supergeometry...)
Super Lie groups and Lie superalgebras
Supergeometric methods in physics
Geometric aspects of supersymmetric field theories, superstrings, and supergravity
Mathematical aspects of the BV-BRST formalism

Proceedings: All speakers and attendees will be invited to submit a paper for publication in the conference proceedings. All papers will undergo the standard peer-review process.
