Symmetry, Integrability and Geometry: Methods and Applications (SIGMA)


Special Issue on Higgs Bundles, Branes and Quantization

The Guest Editors for this special issue are

Lara B. Anderson (Virginia Tech, USA)
David Baraglia (University of Adelaide, Australia)
Laura P. Schaposnik (University of Illinois at Chicago, USA)
Vivek Shende (University of California, Berkeley, USA)


The issue is related to the Workshop “New Perspectives on Higgs Bundles, Branes and Quantization”, June 13–17, 2016, Stony Brook, USA.

The main topics of the issue are problems in mathematics and physics that have arisen recently and which can be tackled from the perspective of Higgs bundles. These include problems in differential and algebraic geometry, compact and non compact Calabi–Yau integrable systems, curve and brane quantization, and string vacuum spaces.

Papers from the participants and from other authors whose work fits into the topics are welcome for this issue.

How to Submit an Article to the Issue.

Both original research articles and review papers will be considered (not published or considered for publication elsewhere).

There is no limit to the length of an article. Deadline for paper submission is March 31, 2017.

All articles will go through the standard peer reviewing procedure of SIGMA.

If you have your paper ready earlier than the deadline, we encourage you to send it now. The reviewing process starts once the paper is submitted and we will publish the paper as soon as the positive publication decision is made. The paper will be indexed in the relevant databases as soon as it is published without waiting for completion of the special issue.
