Please= =20 feel free to sign up through our website at the earliest opportunity: =09http://hsl2017.campus.ciencias.ulisboa.pt/ *Higher Structures Lisbon (deformation theory, operads, higher categori= es=20 developments & applications)* Instituto Superior T=C3=A9cnico, Lisbon, 24-27 July 2017 The aim of this meeting is to stimulate interaction between people, who= are=20 working in higher structures interpreted in the broad sense (to mean hi= gher=20 stacks, L=E2=88=9E- and A=E2=88=9E-algebras, Batalin=E2=80=93Vilkovisky= algebras, higher category=20 theory, operad theory and related areas). Such flavours of higher struc= tures=20 have appeared in differential geometry (non-abelian and higher gerbes), rational homotopy theory, algebraic topology (string structures, extended topological quantum= field=20 theories), persistent homology, and have found a number of applications in mathematical physics, such a= s higher gauge theory, topological quantum field theory, possibly with defects, homological methods in quantum field theory, strings and branes, topological phases of matter, among others.=20 On behalf of the organising committee: Aleksandar Mikovi=C4=87 (GFM/Universidade de Lisboa, Universidade Lus=C3= =B3fona) Benjamin Alarc=C3=B3n Heredia (CMA/Universidade Nova de Lisboa) Bj=C3=B6rn Gohla (GFM/Universidade de Lisboa) John Huerta (CAMGSD/Universidade de Lisboa) Jo=C3=A3o Faria Martins (University of Leeds) Roger Picken (CAMGSD/Universidade de Lisboa) -- Kind regards, Bj=C3=B6rn Gohla [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
