The First International Workshop on Algebraic Geometry,
Particle Physics and String Theory

Relation of String Theory to Gauge Theories and Moduli Problems of Branes

(Steklov Mathematical Institute, Moscow, Russia, September 10–14, 2012)

Getting from the airport
Please use a high-speed railway, called Aeroexpress (with moderately priced tickets, about 350 rubles, approx. 10 Euro). The Aeroexpress connects all international airports in Moscow with the subway stations: "Belorusskaja" for the Sheremetyevo airport, "Paveletskaja" for the Domodedovo airport, and "'Kievskaja" for the Vnukovo aiport. Follow the signs of Aeroexpress or Trains inside the airport. You might go for 15 minutes inside the airport building, which depends on the terminal of your arrival. The timetables of the Aeroexpress and other details are available on the official site http://www.aeroexpress.ru/en/.

The map of Moscow Metro (subway) can be found here. You should go to the orange (Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya) line, South. If you go from the green line, you change at Novokuznetskaya-Tretyakovskaya, if you go by the brown line, you change at Oktyabrskaya.

Accomodation
The participants of the conference are housed either in the building of the Faculty of Mathematics of the Higher School of the Economics, Vavilova, 7, or in the Steklov Mathematical Institute, Gubkina, 8.

Steklov Mathematical Institute
The Steklov Mathematical Institute is located within a walking distance from the metro station "Akademicheskaya" ("Академическая"), orange line, South. It takes about 10–15 minutes to get from the station to the institute. First one should take Dmitriya Ulyanova street (Дмитрия Ульянова) and then Vavilova street (Вавилова), see the map.

The hotel is on the first floor. One should show a passport to the guard at the entrance of the building. Then one goes to the right till the very end and takes a stairway. A guardian will help.

ATTENTION: Regularly, the entrance to the hotel closes at 23:30. If you plan to come later, please, inform the organizers in advance.

Vavilova, 7
The HSE Faculty of Mathematics is located within a walking distance from the metro station "Leninskiy prospect" ("Ленинский проспект"), orange line, South. First one should take an unnamed street and then Vavilova street (Вавилова), see the map.

Directions, pictures and other useful information is available here: http://ag.hse.ru/en/venue.

One should show documents at the reception and then take the elevator. A person at the reception will help.

To get to the Steklov Institute you can walk 20 minutes straight along Vavilova street away from the center of the city or you can take the trams 14 and 39 from the station "Metro Leninskiy prospect (Yuzhnii Vyhod)" ("Метро Ленинский проспект (южный выход)"), which is just in front of the HSE building, to the station "Ulitsa Gubkina" ("Улица Губкина"), 4 stops along Vavilova street.

Conference sessions
