| abstract: This conference is the third in a series, after Iwasawa 2004 in Besançon and Iwasawa 2006 in Limoges, and, as before, aims at bringing together different strands of research (new and older) in Iwasawa theory and closely related topics by investigating class groups and Selmer groups in relation with characteristic power series and special values of L-functions, which have become classical topics in Iwasawa theory. The last few years have seen the emergence of some new trends such as non commutative Iwasawa theory, which studies certain p-adic representations attached to p-adic Lie groups, or equivariant theory, which provides an approach to the equivariant Tamagawa number conjecture, etc. |

| 20. | [ID=151237]Classification of finite p-groups by coclass and beyond |
| 11 Jul 2008; Cambridge, United Kingdom |
| abstract: The classification of finite p-groups via coclass is one of the great success stories in applying profinite groups to general problems in group theory. A particular issue in this context is the periodicity in coclass graphs. This regular behaviour was first established by Marcus du Sautoy using p-adic integrals. More recently Bettina Eick and Charles Leedham-Green found an alternative, more constructive proof. The meeting will address these and related topics. |

| 25. | [ID=152093]Conference in Honour of Peter Orlik |
| 19 Aug 2008 → 22 Aug 2008; Fields Institute, Canada |
| abstract: Peter Orlik's work has been influential for a particularly broad mathematical community: his seventy-some publications to date include five books, and his focus has included Seifert manifolds, singularities, reflection groups and invariant theory, braids, hyperplane arrangements, and hypergeometric integrals. The theory of hyperplane arrangements should receive special mention since, together with Hiroaki Terao and Louis Solomon, Peter Orlik pioneered the area and established many of the foundational results. In doing so, they constructed a fertile meeting point for algebra, topology, and combinatorics.
The aim of this conference is to bring together individuals in some of the various areas interconnected by Peters legacy. This is both to facilitate ongoing collaborations in some of the most exciting areas spawned by his work, and also to encourage new relationships between specialists with hitherto undiscovered common ground. In particular, we hope to attract a good number of graduate students and recent PhDs both from Ontario and further afield. |

| 40. | [ID=93077]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. |
