OVER VIEW

Sage Days will be a 5-day intensive workshop to develop and implement algorithms for research in algebraic combinatorics and the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. All software developed during the workshop will be made freely available, together with the source code, as part of the free and open-source mathematics software system Sage (http://www.sagemath.org). Any sufficiently novel algorithms developed during the workshop will be submitted for publication.

FORMAT

The workshop will consist of mathematical presentations, presentations on Sage and coding sprints. The mathematical presentations will include talks introducing the relevant mathematics for the entire audience and more advanced talks for interested participants. The Sage presentations will begin with introductory tutorials and progress to more advanced topics, including software development in Sage. There will be ample time allotted for design discussions and coding sprints to implement the developed algorithms.

Who should attend

The nature of the workshop will make it accessible to researchers at all levels, even those without any experience with Sage. In fact, one of the aims of the workshop is to recruit the expertise of people not currently involved in Sage development, as well as undergraduate students that will be embarking on summer research projects in 2010.

The aim of these projects is to build upon Sage’s strong foundation of combinatorial algorithms. Some require advanced programming or mathematical knowledge, while some can be undertaken by young researchers with little programming experience.
Topics may include:

Crystals and reflection groups algorithms.
Combinatorial Hopf algebras.
Representation-theoretic invariants
Representations of quivers.
• Cluster algebras.
Noncommutative Gröbner Bases
