This interdisciplinary workshop explores emerging connections between theoretical physics—particularly string theory and quantum field theory—and advanced topics in number theory, such as automorphic forms, mock and quantum modular forms, and representation-theoretic structures. Recent developments in scattering amplitudes, topological strings, and counting functions in 2D and 3D conformal field theories underscore the role of a shared number-theoretic framework across physics and low-dimensional topology. The workshop brings together mathematicians and physicists—experts in vertex operator algebras, low-dimensional topology, automorphic forms, and related areas—to spark new conversations and foster cross-disciplinary collaborations.
