Outline of Scientific Activities

Main Directions of Research

The aim of the thematic program is to assemble leading experts in the fields of Galois representations, automorphic forms, and related subjects, with the goals of communicating recent discoveries to various audiences, including graduate students and beginning investigators, experts from other fields, and experts in their own fields; and of promoting further progress in these fields through fostering interaction and collaboration among experts. These aims will be achieved through a combination of graduate courses, short lecture series, research seminars, and workshops.

Postdoctoral Fellows and Program Visitors

Postdoctoral fellowship applications
We will support a number of Fields postdocs for the duration of the program, as well as offer support towards a visitors' program, including visiting Ph.D. students

Program Participants requesting support or office space
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community. Visitors who are interested in office space or funding are requested to apply by filling out the application form .
Additional support is available to support junior US visitors to this program.
Fields scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences, and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific programs.
