Conference: Algebraic Cycles, K-Theory and Modular Representation Theory: Progress and Prospects; September 16-19, 2004

DMS-0354924罗伊·乔什这笔赠款将部分支持一次会议，该会议将汇集许多世界领先的数学家，以调查当前的发展，报告最近的进展，并反对代数循环、K理论和模表示理论的未来发展。这些主题之间的联系是代数和代数几何的混合，受到代数拓扑学的技术和动机的影响。代数圈的进展，以及代数K-理论的相关结果，已经是戏剧性的。作为这一进步的基础的动机上同源性的主要贡献者，布洛赫，苏斯林和沃沃茨基，已经同意参加。相关调查包括劳森、利希滕鲍姆、沃克和韦贝尔的工作，他们都已同意参与。涉及上同调技术的模表示理论的发展也引起了相当大的兴奋，这一领域的一些领先研究人员(Benson，Nakano和Parshire)也将参加这次会议。这次会议的时机是Eric Friedlander的60岁生日；地点是美国伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿的西北大学，从2004年9月16日星期四到9月19日星期日。事实上，大多数讲师将是与弗里德兰德在上述主题方面进行过合作的数学家。会议计划支持一些年轻人参与，包括博士后和研究生高级水平，以便激发人们对这些令人兴奋的数学主题的兴趣和参与。有关详情，请访问http://www.math.northwestern.edu/conferences/friedlander

DMS-0354924Roy JoshuaThis grant will partially support a conference which will bring together many of the world's leading mathematicians to survey current developments, report on recent progress, and anticpate future developments in algebraic cycles, K-theory and modular representation theory. The link between these topics is the blend of algebra and algebraic geometry, influenced by techniques and motivation from algebraic topology. Progress in algebraic cycles, with related results in algebraic K-theory, has been dramatic. The principal contributors to motivic cohomology which underlies this progress, Bloch, Suslin, and Voevodsky, have agreed to participate. Related investigations include work of Lawson, Lichtenbaum, Walker, and Weibel, all of whom have agreed to participate. Developments in modular representation theory involving cohomological techniques such as support varieties have also generated considerable excitement, and some of the leading researchers in this area (Benson, Nakano and Parshall) will alsoparticipate in this conference.The occasion of this conference is the 60th birthday of Eric Friedlander; the venue is Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, from Thursday, September 16- Sunday September 19, 2004. Indeed, most of the lecturers will be mathematicians who have collaborated with Friedlander on aspects of the topics mentioned above. The conference plans to support participation by a number of young people, at both the post-doctoral and advanced graduate student level, so that it will serve to stimulate increased interest and participation in these exciting mathematical topics.
