DESCRIPTION:Organisers\nBRYAN Jim (University of British Columbia).\nPANDH
 ARIPANDE Rahul (ETHZ).\nTHOMAS Richard (Imperial College\, London).\nThere
  has been a great deal of recent progress in understanding different curve
 -counting theories in dimensions 2 and 3. On surfaces\, the elusive BPS in
 variants of Gopakumar-Vafa have now been rigorously defined by many differ
 ent approaches\, which have also been shown to be equivalent. In three dim
 ensions\, the MNOP conjecture has been proved for many Calabi-Yau 3-folds\
 , relating Gromov-Witten theory to stable pairs. Motivic and refined versi
 ons of DT theory have given new approaches to BPS numbers. For local surfa
 ces there have been many calculations leading to rather complete results. 
 This workshop will bring together the experts in the field to survey this 
 progress and work on the many outstanding issues.
