Nigel Hitchin is one of the world's foremost figures in the fields of differential and algebraic geometry and their relations with mathematical physics, and he has been Savilian Professor of Geometry at Oxford since 1997. Geometry and Physics: A Festschrift in honour of Nigel Hitchin contain the proceedings of the conferences held in September 2016 in Aarhus, Oxford, and Madrid to mark Nigel Hitchin's 70th birthday, and to honour his far-reaching contributions to geometry and mathematical physics.
These texts contain 29 articles by contributors to the conference and other distinguished mathematicians working in related areas, including three Fields Medallists. The articles cover a broad range of topics in differential, algebraic and symplectic geometry, and also in mathematical physics. These volumes will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in geometry and mathematical physics.
Jørgen Ellegaard Andersen obtained a DPhil in Mathematics from University of Oxford in 1992 and held assistant professor positions at University of California Berkeley and Aarhus University as well as general memberships at MSRI before obtaining a tenured position at Aarhus University in 1997. After being Clay Professor at University of California Berkeley, he became Professor of Mathematics at Aarhus University and he currently holds a Distinguished Visiting Professorship at California Institute of Technology. He is also Director of the Danish National Research Foundation Center of Excellence, Center for Quantum Geometry of Moduli Spaces (QGM) at Aarhus University. Andrew Dancer took the degrees of BA and DPhil at Oxford University, and held postdoctoral fellowships at Cambridge, the Max-Planck-Institut, and IHES, before becoming a faculty member at McMaster University in Canada. He is now Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University and a Fellow of Jesus College. Oscar García-Prada is a CSIC Research Professor at Instituto de Ciencias Matemáticas ICMAT, Madrid. He obtained a D.Phil. in Mathematics at the University of Oxford in 1991, and had postdoctoral appointments at Institut des Hautes Études Scientific (Paris), University of California at Berkeley, and University of Paris-Sud, before holding positions at University Autónoma of Madrid and École Polytéchnique (Paris). In 2002 he joined the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
