Conference on Geometric Methods in Representation Theory

表示理论中的几何方法会议将于2013年11月23-25日在密苏里大学哥伦比亚分校举行。这次会议汇集了从事有限维代数表示理论的几何方法和相关主题的专家，以及这一领域的初级研究人员，如研究生和博士后。将有说明性讲座和其他研究讲座，主题包括：有界箭图的半不变量；有限维代数的模问题；模的退化和模簇中轨道闭合的几何；万能变形环及其与模空间的联系；簇代数。这次会议将有助于加强和促进几何和表示理论的互动。表示理论几何方法会议的主要目的之一是向表示理论的初级研究人员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，已经变得越来越基本。这次会议的主讲人将是Jerzy Weyman，他将做两次一小时的演讲，研究生和博士后都可以听到。还将有多位知名专家进行说明性演讲。剩下的讲座将是高级数学家和初级数学家的研究讲座。这将包括研究生和博士后与他们的论文相关的几次演讲。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示理论中的前沿几何方法。此外，会议将使初级表征理论家能够介绍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。有关密苏里-哥伦比亚大学表示理论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.
