The High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (HECAP) section at ICTP is studying some of the most exciting areas in physics today, from string theory to physics at large energy colliders, from neutrino phenomenology to alternative cosmologies.
HECAP collaborates closely with the staff of the International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), the Department of Theoretical Physics of Trieste University, and with the physicists of the Trieste section of the Italian National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN).

ICTP HECAP & Maths Colloquium on "Hidden Algebraic Structures in Topology and Quantum Field Theory"
Professor Gukov obtained his PhD in 2001 from Princeton University under the supervision of Edward Witten. He then was a Long-term Prize Fellow of Clay Mathematics Institute at Harvard University and then a member at the School of Mathematics at the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton. Since 2007 he has been a professor of theoretical physics and mathematics at California Institute of Technology. From 2010 he has been also an external scientific member at Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn. Professor Gukov has made numerous significant contributions in string theory, quantum field theory and low dimensional topology.
Abstract. Quantum physics, topology, and representation theory have a long history of working together. Therefore, it is no surprise that symmetries and their representations play an important role in describing physical phenomena and often label powerful invariants of 3-manifolds and 4-manifolds. More surprising, though, are algebraic structures labeled by topological manifolds or emergence of symmetries in quantum systems where they are not initially expected. Although instances of such 'hidden' algebraic structures are still rare and quite mysterious, they sometimes can be understood or even predicted in the framework of string theory. In this talk, intended for a broad audience, I will survey some of the recent and more intriguing examples of such relations between algebra, topology, and physics.
