CANCELLED Masterclass:
Non-Archimedean Geometry Techniques in Mirror Symmetry
University of Copenhagen
NOTE ON 30 APRIL, 2020: We are unable to host the masterclass during June 22-26, 2020, due to the pandemic. It is possible that the course will be rescheduled for later in 2020, or for sometime in 2021. In either case, the class will be advertised again.
NOTE ON 7 APRIL, 2020: It is unclear whether or not this masterclass will run as planned. Those who would like to attend should register as usual and make sure that all reservations they make are fully refundable. The organizers will send an email to all those registered as soon as final decisions are made.
This Masterclass, will be an introduction to recent breakthroughs on the SYZ Conjecture accomplished using techniques from Non-Archimedean and Tropical Geometry. The course is designed for PhD students working in related areas, though others are welcome to attend if space permits.

The course will consist of lectures and problem and discussion sessions given over the span of five days. Participants are also asked to prepare in advance of the event using the following materials: [Con08], [Nic16], [Gro13].
It is possible to receive 2.5 ECTS points for successful participation in this course. To do this, students must register at phdcourses.ku.dk.

The Masterclass will take place at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. See detailed instructions on how to reach Copenhagen and the conference venue.
Tickets and passes for public transportation can be bought at the Copenhagen Airport and every train or metro station. You can find the DSB ticket office on your right-hand side as soon as you come out of the arrival area of the airport. DSB has an agreement with 7-Eleven, so many of their shops double as selling points for public transportation.
We kindly ask the participants to arrange their own accommodation.
We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandivania (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive – and still recommended – options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.
An additional option is to combine a stay at the CabInn Metro Hotel with a pass for Copenhagen (efficient and reliable) public transportation. See information about tickets & prices.
The original registration deadline was April 15.
If the masterclass is rescheduled, we will post a new registration form and notify those who have already registered of the update.
