Conference on Representation Theory and Related Topics, August 6-9, 2014

该奖项将为参加2014年8月6日至9日在韩国大邱举行的2014年国际数学大会(ICM)卫星会议“表征理论及相关话题”的美国研究人员和研究生提供差旅支持。李代数、量子群及相关代数结构的表示理论已成为数学中一个综合性的主流研究领域，在数学和理论物理中有着广泛的应用。特别是，量子化Kac-Moody代数的表示理论及其范畴和几何结构不仅在李论中处于领先地位，而且在其他数学和物理领域也处于领先地位，如组合学、群论、数论、可积系统、偏微分方程组、拓扑学和共形场论。表征理论的最新发展正在进一步加强这些互动。本次会议将汇集从事表征理论各个方面工作的国际专家，他们将报告当前的研究进展，勾勒出未来的方向，并与其他与会者，包括初级研究人员和研究生进行互动。通过该奖项支持的美国参与研究人员将有机会与他们的国际同行交流想法，这可能会导致未来的合作。通过该奖项资助的来自美国的研究生将有一个独特的机会与代表理论领域的国际专家互动。会议网址为：https://sites.google.com/site/icm2014satelliterepn/home.。

This award will provide travel support for US-based researchers and graduate students participating in an International Congress of Mathematics (ICM) 2014 satellite conference on "Representation Theory and Related Topics" on August 6-9, 2014, in Daegu, South Korea. The representation theory of Lie algebras, quantum groups and related algebraic structures has become a comprehensive and mainstream research area in mathematics with numerous applications in mathematics and theoretical physics. In particular, representation theory of quantized Kac-Moody algebras and their categorical and geometric constructions have taken the lead not only within Lie theory but also in other areas of mathematics and physics such as combinatorics, group theory, number theory, integrable systems, partial differential equations, topology and conformal field theory. Recent developments in representation theory are strengthening these interactions further.This conference will bring together international experts working on various aspects of representation theory who will report on the current research developments, outline the future directions and interact with other participants including junior researchers and graduate students. The participating researchers from the US supported through this award will have an opportunity to exchange ideas with their international counterparts which may lead to future collaborations. The graduate students from the US supported through this award will have a unique opportunity to interact with international experts in the field of representation theory.
