Quantum field theory with (0,2) supersymmetry plays a key role in the study of heterotic string compactifications. Recently these theories have also been playing a role in the study of four-dimensional gauge theories with defects, and there has been a revival in the study of (0,4) theories in light of the Mathieu-Moonshine conjectures.
The workshop will bring together leading experts in these areas with the goals of giving an overview of recent results, finding new relations between the various problems under study, and hopefully charting some new directions where progress can be achieved by combining different approaches.
