Overview
This three day workshop will bring together young (mainly postdoctoral
and graduate student) researchers in representation theory and related
fields with a focus on exciting new developments in algebraic and
geometric methods. The meeting will incorporate both a graduate
student workshop and a research level conference. The workshop component
will consist of a series of three lectures by Ben Webster (Northeastern)
explaining S-duality. In addition to these lectures, there will
be research talks given by the leading young researchers in representation
theory and related fields.
The goals of this workshop are:
- to highlight algebraic-geometric and categorical methods in
representation theory which have made important contributions
in recent years,
- to learn about the program on S-duality initiated by Braden,
Licata, Proudfoot, and Webster,
- to provide an opportunity for young researchers in the field
to learn of and present cutting-edge research, and
- to foster interaction between Canadian and American researchers
working in this area.
