The Third Graduate Student Research Conference in Algebra and Representation Theory

第三届研究生研究会议在代数和表示论将于2013年4月12日至14日在堪萨斯州立大学举行。会议的网页是http://www.math.ksu.edu/events/grad_conf_2013。会议将邀请代数和表示论专家讲课，并由研究生进行20分钟至40分钟的演讲。主讲人是V. Futorny教授（圣保罗大学）和E. Poletaeva（德克萨斯大学，泛美）.该地区有几所学校在代数和表示论方面具有很强的研究传统，来自这些学校的研究生的参与将支持他们的研究计划的发展。在代数和表示论的主题范围，将在会议上提出预计将是非常广泛的，将包括有限群的表示，Hecke代数的表示，辛反射代数，代数群，量子群，量化，李代数，Hopf代数，可积系统的Bethe子代数，交换环上同调，朗兰兹对应，酉群，顶点算子代数，D-模。邀请演讲的焦点主题是分次代数，超代数，以及它们与表示论的联系。会议对非常广泛的观众开放。会议的主要目标之一是增加来自不同大学的研究生之间的互动。会议为与会者提供了交流研究进展、培养演讲技巧以及结识未来同事的机会。它为未来研究人员之间的合作开辟了联系。该活动将非常有利于研究生课程水平的研究项目。参加会议刺激研究，帮助准备博士论文和出版物的结果。 从长远来看，会议将增加学生对美国研究生课程和基础数学研究的兴趣，特别是在中西部地区和中型大学提供的课程。 会议的组织工作由一个研究生委员会和一名本科生负责。 该活动作为一个研究生团队在组织数学专业会议的培训。

The Third Graduate Research Conference in Algebra and Representation Theory will be held at Kansas State University in April 12-14, 2013. The webpage of the conference is http://www.math.ksu.edu/events/grad_conf_2013 The conference will feature invited lectures given by experts in algebra and representation theory and 20-minute to 40-minute talks by graduate students. The keynote speakers are Professor V. Futorny (Universidade de Sao Paulo), and Professor E. Poletaeva (University of Texas, Pan American). There are several schools in the region with strong research traditions in algebra and representation theory, and participation of graduate students from those schools will support the development of their research programs. The range of topics in algebra and representation theory that will be presented at the conference is expected to be very wide and will include representations of finite groups, representations of Hecke algebras, symplectic reflection algebras, algebraic groups, quantum groups, quantizations, Lie algebras, Hopf algebras, Bethe subalgebras of integrable systems, cohomology over commutative rings, Langlands correspondence, unitary duals, vertex operator algebras, D-modules. The focus topic of the invited lectures is graded algebras, superalgebras, and their connection to representation theory.Participation in the conference is open to a very broad audience. One of the main goals of the conference is to increase the interaction among graduate students from different universities. The conference provides the participants with the opportunity to communicate their research progress, to develop presentation skills, and to get acquainted with future colleagues. It opens connections for collaboration among future researchers. The event will be very beneficial for research projects on the level of graduate programs. Participation in the conference stimulates research, helping to prepare results for Ph.D theses and publications. In the long run, the conference will increase interest among students in US graduate programs and fundamental mathematical research, in particular in the programs offered in the Midwest region and by mid-sized universities. The organization of the conference is undertaken by a committee of graduate students and one undergraduate student. The event serves as training for a team of graduate students in organizing professional meetings in mathematics.
