Meetings/Workshops on Group Theory in Canada

Conference-Service.com offers, as part of our business activities, a directory of upcoming scientific and technical meetings. The calendar is published for the convenience of conference participants and we strive to support conference organisers who need to publish their upcoming events. Although great care is being taken to ensure the correctness of all entries, we cannot accept any liability that may arise from the presence, absence or incorrectness of any particular information on this website. Always check with the meeting organizer before making arrangements to participate in an event!

Meeting organizers can submit meetings free of charge for inclusion into the listing.

1.go to top of page[ID=93055]Summer School in Geometric Representation Theory and Extended Affine Lie Algebras
15 Jun 2009 → 27 Jun 2009; University of Ottawa, Canada

abstract: Lie algebras and their representations form an extremely rich and important field of mathematics. Geometric representation theory is a relatively new field which has attracted much attention. The general idea is to use geometric methods to construct classically algebraic objects, such as representations of Lie groups and Lie algebras. Geometric techniques have proven to be particularly well suited to establishing positivity and integrality results, as these are often easy consequences of the geometric nature of the objects involved. One is also often able to use the representation theory of objects such as (affine) Kac-Moody algebras to organize and better understand the homology of various interesting spaces appearing in the constructions, like Hilbert schemes, flag varieties, Steinberg varieties, affine Grassmannians, and quiver varieties. In addition to its obvious connections to representation theory, geometric representation theory has been found to be intimately related to combinatorics (crystals, quivers), cluster algebras, mathematical physics, and many other subjects.
