RIKEN Symposium "Matrix models and string theory"


It has been over 20 years since the significance of non-perturbative aspects of string theory was realized by most of the researchers in the field. While a lot of progress has been made on the matter so far, we are still seeking the final form of non-perturbative formulation of string theory.

We here plan this one-day workshop as follows, to promote the effort toward the non-perturbative formulation of string theory.



Date: September 23rd (Sat.) from 9:30 ~ 18:00
