AGATES Workshop

Tensors from the physics viewpoint

October 4th-7th, 2022

IMPAN, Warsaw, Poland

The workshop is dedicated to interactions of the mathematical notions of tensors, tensor rank, and secant varieties with the theoretical physics, in particular, composed quantum systems and multipartite entanglement. The main goal is to promote the mutual interactions between mathematicians and theoretical physicists. Thus the regular talks will be accompanied by more informal discussions and problem sessions.

Venue

The workshop takes place at Institute of Mathematics of Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN). The address is Śniadeckich 8, 00-656 Warsaw, Poland. Lectures and discussions will take place in room number 321 on the third floor, other rooms to divide into several working groups will be available. Coffee breaks take place in 409.

Some hints on the accommodation are available at the AGATES accommodation tab. Note that some supported participants must reserve their accommodations through the University of Warsaw, see the above link for details.

Schedule

On Monday Oct 3rd, we will have some informal pre-workshop activities.

The lectures will take place from Tuesday till Friday. There will be a limited number of lectures and some time for working groups and informal discussions. Click here to access titles and abstracts of the talks. A rough schedule is the following:

On-line participation

We strongly encourage in-person participation. Provisionally, we expect that the talks are going to be available for on-line participation, but they are not going to be recorded. The discussion sessions and working groups will be in-person only. If you are interested in participating on-line, please contact Wojciech Bruzda (w.bruzda who is at uj.edu.pl), who will distribute the zoom link shortly before the workshop.

Registration

To attend, please fill in the AGATES registration form, indicating that you plan to attend the workshop in the section "Interest in events".
