Algebraic geometry is a key area of mathematical research of international significance. The Theory of Moduli Spaces has experienced an extraordinary development in recent decades, finding an increasing number of mathematical connections with other fields of mathematics and physics. This school is an introduction to subjects of current interest related to moduli spaces of augmented bundles and physics. The school will be directed at students and researchers in mathematics and physics interested in the subject and its aim is to introduce young mathematicians to the foundations of the theory, some of its major developments and tools used for its study and also a few glimpses on some more advanced topics.
The school will be followed with a Workshop. These activities are part of the Term on Algebraic Geometry 2013 in CIMAT (www.cimat.mx/eventos) and of the Schools and Workshops on Algebraic Geometry and Physics (SWAGPS) that have been organized since 1996 in different countries.
