Mathematical Sciences: Modular Interfaces, February 18-20, 1995, University of California, Riverside

该奖项支持李代数领域之间的相互作用的积极特征，量子群和李超代数会议。 在过去的几年里，特征p的李代数的表示理论和量子群的表示理论之间有着重要的联系。 素特征李代数与李超代数之间的关系可以追溯到20世纪70年代，但仍然没有完全理解。 这些问题将在这次会议上讨论。 会议的时间和地点是为了荣誉理查德·E·在他退休后。 他的著作对这一课题产生了深远的影响。 这次会议关注的是一个叫做李代数的数学对象。 李代数起源于另一个称为李群的对象。 李群的一个例子是球体的旋转，其中一个旋转之后是另一个旋转。 李群和李代数在涉及分析球面运动的领域中是重要的。

This award supports a conference on the interaction between the fields of Lie algebras in positive characteristic, quantum groups, and Lie superalgebras. In the last several years, there have been important connections between the representation theory of Lie algebras in characteristic p and the representation theory of quantum groups. The relation between Lie algebras in prime characteristic and Lie superalgebras dates back to the 1970's, but is still not fully understood. These problems will be discussed at this conference. The time and place for the conference are chosen to honor Professor Richard E. Block upon his retirement. His work has had a deep impact on the subject. This conference is concerned with a mathematical object called a Lie algebra. Lie algebras arise from another object called a Lie group. An example of a Lie group is the rotations of a sphere where one rotation is followed by another. Lie groups and Lie algebras are important in areas involving analysis of sperical motion.
