Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory

表征理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。会议汇集了研究有限维代数表示理论中的几何方法和相关主题的专家，以及该领域的初级研究人员，如研究生和博士后。将会有解释性和其他的研究讲座，主题包括：约束颤振的半不变量；有限维代数的模问题模的退化和模的轨道闭包几何通用变形环及其与模空间的联系集群代数。这次会议将有助于加强和推进几何与表征理论的相互作用。表征理论中的几何方法会议的主要目标之一是向表征理论的初学者介绍几何方法的力量。这些方法在许多数学领域，特别是在有限维代数的表示理论中变得越来越重要。这次会议的主讲人是Jerzy Weyman他将做两场一小时的讲座，面向研究生和博士后。还将有几场知名专家的说明性讲座。剩下的讲座将由高级和初级数学家进行研究报告。这将包括由研究生和博士后就他们的论文所做的几次演讲。会议将提供一个吸引人的氛围，可以形成新的合作，年轻的研究人员有可能学习表征理论中的前沿几何方法。此外，会议将使初级代表理论家能够展示他们的工作并与更广泛的社区互动，这是秋季就业前季节的关键活动。关于密苏里-哥伦比亚大学表示理论几何方法会议的更多信息可以在http://www.math.uiowa.edu/~fbleher/CGMRT2013.html上找到

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.
