International Conference in Number Theory and Physics
IMPA,
Rio de Janeiro, June, 15 – 26, 2015
This school and conference aims to bring together mathematicians (from number theory and algebraic geometry,…) and theoretical physicists (from Quantum Chaos, QFT and String Theory,…). The first week will be aimed at introductory minicourses and introductory lectures in several topics on Number Theory and Physics. And the second week will focus on research lectures and advanced level minicourses aimed at graduate students and researchers at all levels.
The main purpose of the school and conference is to bring together leading researchers in number theory and physics, to foster further mutually beneficial interaction between Number Theory and Physics.
The school will be made of a series of plenary lectures, short lectures and minicourses in different subjects on Number Theory and Physics. One of the aims of this school is to discuss the recent developments in a wide range of topics at the crossroads between Number Theory and Physics. The main topics to be covered in this conference are:
– Number Theory and Random Matrices
– Number Theory over Function Fields and Riemann Hypothesis for Curves
– Modular Forms, Mock Modular Forms and Generalizations
– String Theory, String dualities and automorphic forms
– Quantum Field Theory for Mathematicians and Number Theorists
– Quantum Chaos, Arithmetic Quantum Chaos and Number Theory
– Noncommutative Geometry in Number Theory and Physics
– Polylogarithms, Multiple Zeta Values and Pertubative Physics
– Mirror Symmetry, Calabi-Yau Manifolds and Zeta Functions
– Prime Numbers and recent developments
– AdS/CFT and arithmetic

Instructions for Poster Presentation
Due to the size of the poster boards your poster may not exceed 90 cm in width and 120 cm in height (portrait format). Materials for mounting the posters will be available at the poster areas.
Local organizers will provide the necessary materials for the setup, but please remember that there will be no possibility to print out the posters at the conference site.
The title and Author(s) Name(s) must appear on the top of the final poster. The poster should have a balance between the text and illustrations. The illustrations should have a bigger area of the poster. Font size should be large enough to enable reading from a certain distance. It is suggested the following font size:
Title: Size 70 (1,5cm H)
Author(s) Name(s): Size 50 (1cm H)
Text: Size 28 (0,7cm H)
