Higher Homotopy Structures in Topology and Mathematical Physics

June 13--15, 1996

Vassar College

Poughkeepsie, NY

The notion of higher homotopy structures has its origin in the work of Jim Stasheff and M.Sugawara on H-spaces. Since then the subject has grown to include applications to homological algebra, algebraic topology, and mathematical physics. The conference will focus on the applications in diverse fields, bringing together workers from various areas in mathematics and physics.
