Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory

表示论中的几何方法会议将于2013年11月23日至25日在密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校举行。 会议汇集了有限维代数表示理论和相关主题中几何方法的专家，以及该领域的研究人员，如研究生和博士后。将有暂时性和其他研究会谈的主题，如：半不变量的约束箭图;模问题有限维代数;退化的模块和几何轨道封闭模块品种;普遍变形环及其连接到模空间;集群代数。这次会议将有助于加强和推进几何和表示论的相互作用。表示论中的几何方法会议的主要目标之一是向表示论中的初学者介绍几何方法的力量。这些方法在数学的许多领域，特别是在有限维代数的表示论中已经变得越来越基本。本次会议的主要发言人将是Jerzy Weyman，他将做两个一小时的讲座，研究生和博士后都可以参加。此外，还将举办多场由知名专家主讲的讲座。讲座的其余部分将由高级和初级数学家进行研究会谈。这将包括研究生和博士后与他们的论文有关的几次演讲。会议将提供一个诱人的氛围，在其中可以形成新的合作，年轻的研究人员有可能了解表征理论中的尖端几何方法。此外，会议将使初级代表理论家介绍他们的工作，并与更广泛的社区互动，这是在秋季就业前季节的重要活动。 有关密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校表示论中几何方法会议的更多信息，请访问http://www.math.uiowa.edu/~fbleher/CGMRT2013.html

The Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory will be held at the University of Missouri-Columbia on November 23-25, 2013. The conference brings together experts working on geometric methods in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras and related topics, and beginning researchers in this area, such as graduate students and postdocs. There will be expository and other research talks on topics such as: semi-invariants for bound quivers; moduli problems for finite-dimensional algebras; degenerations of modules and the geometry of orbit closures in module varieties; universal deformation rings and their connection to moduli spaces; cluster algebras. This conference will help strengthen and advance the interaction of geometry and representation theory.One of the main objectives of the Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory is to introduce beginning researchers in representation theory to the power of geometric methods. These methods have become more and more fundamental in many areas of mathematics, and in particular in the representation theory of finite dimensional algebras. The key note speaker for this conference will be Jerzy Weyman who will give two one-hour lectures which will be accessible to graduate students and postdocs. There will also be several expository lectures given by well-known experts. The remainder of the lectures will be research talks given by both senior and junior mathematicians. This will include several talks given by graduate students and postdocs related to their theses. The conference will provide an inviting atmosphere in which new collaborations can be formed and young researchers have the possibility to learn about cutting-edge geometric methods in representation theory. Moreover, the conference will enable junior representation theorists to present their work and interact with the broader community, which are crucial activities in the pre-employment season in the fall.
