International Conference on Algebra, Combinatorics and Representation Theory

“代数、组合学和表示理论”会议将于2013年4月24日至28日在马萨诸塞州波士顿的东北大学举行。会议的目的是传播李理论和聚类理论中不同但相互关联的主题的进展，以及在这些不同领域的研究人员之间建立和保持联系。讨论的主题将包括：(1)聚类代数和聚类范畴；(2)相关几何，包括泊松-李群和平面连接的模空间；(3)量子群、分类和正则基；(4)李群、代数和李超代数的一般表示理论。会议的主题在于许多不同数学领域之间的接口，将离散数学（以组合学的形式）与连续数学（以李论的形式）结合在一起，并创造新的和意想不到的联系。通过将几个领域的杰出资深数学家与有才华的年轻数学家聚集在一起，我们的目标是为将看似独立的领域联系在一起创造新的机会。该基金将为40-45名与会者提供资金，特别强调研究生和最近的博士学位。会议网站链接如下：http://www.math.neu.edu/~bwebster/ACRT/。

The conference "Algebra, Combinatorics and Representation Theory" will take place April 24-28, 2013 at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. The objective of the conference is to disseminate progress in a diverse but interconnected set of topics in Lie theory and cluster theory as well as build and maintain connections between researchers in these various areas. Among the topics considered will be (1) cluster algebras and cluster categories, (2) allied geometry, including Poisson-Lie groups and moduli spaces of flat connections on surfaces, (3) quantum groups, categorification and canonical bases, (4) the general representation theory of Lie groups, algebras and Lie superalgebras. The topics of the conference lie on the interface between many different areas of mathematics, bringing together discrete mathematics (in the form of combinatorics) with continuous mathematics (in the form of Lie theory) and creating new and unexpected connections. By bringing together distinguished senior mathematicians in several fields with talented young mathematicians, we aim to create new opportunities for tying together seemingly separate fields. The grant will provide funding for 40-45 participants with special emphasis on graduate students and recent Ph.D.'s to attend the conference.
