Summer School on Representation Theory

为了加强表征理论的研究生教育，帮助我们的研究生获得国际工作经验，提议的项目是支持美国研究生参加2011年6月28日至7月10日在华南理工大学举行的第二届美中暑期项目。暑期课程将以3个或更多的短期课程为特色，由顶尖专家讲授表征理论的代数、分析、组合和几何方面。来自中国六个数学系和研究中心的约50名中国学生将参加美中联合暑期学校。在过去的几十年里，表征理论一直是数学和物理学的中心主题。它是如此广泛，以至于几乎所有主要的数学领域都与它有联系。世界上许多研究小组使用不同的工具从不同的角度研究表征理论。因此，在这一领域接受培训的研究生接触到该领域的一些广度是特别重要的。

In order to strengthen graduate education in representation theory and help our graduate students gain international working experiences, the proposed project is to support the travel of U.S. graduate students to attend the second US-China summer program during during June 28-July 10 2011 at South China University of Technology. The summer program will feature 3 or more short courses given by leading experts on algebraic, analytic, combinatorial, and geometric aspects of representation theory. About 50 Chinese students from more than half dozen major mathematical departments and research centers in China will attend the joint US-China summer school.Representation theory has been a central theme in mathematics and physics for the last several decades. It is so broad that almost all major mathematical areas have connections to it. Many research groups world wide do work related to representation theory from various perspectives using different tools. Thus it is especially important that a graduate student training in this area has exposure to some of the breadth of the area.
