The 2021 IHÉS Summer School on "Enumerative Geometry, Physics and Representation Theory" will be held in a blended format at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHÉS) from 5 to 16 July 2021 with a reduced number of already selected participants who will be at IHÉS in person and the others participating over Zoom. <strong>Registration for the School is OPEN and MANDATORY for everyone who wants to attend over Zoom</strong>, please visit the <a href="https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/5382/" target="_blank">webpage of the school</a> for details.<br>

<strong>Organising Committee:</strong> Andrei Negut (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Francesco Sala (Università di Pisa), and Olivier Schiffmann (CNRS and Université Paris-Saclay)<br>
<br>
<strong>Scientific Committee:</strong> Mina Aganagic (University of California at Berkeley), Hiraku Nakajima (Kavli IPMU), Nikita Nekrasov (Simons Center for Geometry and Physics), and Andrei Okounkov (Columbia University)<br>
<br>
This Summer School will focus on the following main subjects:<br>
• counting curves and sheaves (Gromov-Witten theory, Donaldson-Thomas and related theories)<br>
• gauge theory enumerative geometry (3d gauge theories and Coulomb branches, 4d gauge theories, and Vafa-Witten invariants, etc)<br>
• applications of enumerative geometry to categorification and low-dimensional topology<br>
• Hall algebras and their refined versions (cohomological, K-theoretic, derived categories)<br>
<br>
