Group Representation Theory and Related Topics
Conference Announcement
|
Outline
This is an international
conference that will take place in
Lausanne, Switzerland, from
Tuesday 22nd until Friday 25th of June, 2010.
Group representation theory is a very active area of mathematics which
has connections and overlaps with areas such as algebraic topology,
K-theory, algebraic geometry and commutative ring theory. Research in
the area has been driven by several conjectures and open problems
which have pushed the development of new methodology and broader
interactions with other areas of mathematics.
The aim of the conference is to stimulate activity in and enhance
interaction between representation theory and other areas of
mathematics, like those presented above.
In addition to the lectures, there will be a conference dinner in honour
of Professor Jacques
Thévenaz.
