The International Laboratory of Mirror Symmetry and Automorphic Forms was created in December 2016 in the framework of the Russian Government megagrants program.
The head of the Laboratory is American-Bulgarian mathematician Ludmil Katzarkov. We are planning to create a new global research platform that combines the efforts of mathematicians from different domains of mathematics and theoretical physics working on problems related to mirror symmetry, derived and non-commutative geometry, automorphic forms, and number theory. During the project implementation we focus on establishing a solid highly promising generation of young Russian mathematicians as well as on scientific collaboration with leading foreign scientists.
