International Conference Representation Theory at the Crossroads of Modern Mathematics

“现代数学十字路口的表征理论”国际会议将于2017年5月29日至6月2日在法国兰斯香槟-阿登大学举行。该项目旨在支持美国研究人员参与该活动。会议将包括27场由国际领先的表征理论研究人员发表的演讲，它将促进不同的国际数学家群体之间的高水平互动和合作。美国研究人员的参与将有助于提高目前国内数学研究的实力，并支持美国下一代研究人员的发展。会议的统一主题将是A. Kirillov的轨道方法在表征理论中的影响。讲座将涵盖李群和李代数的表示理论，包括量子群，可积系统，几何量子化，代数群的上同调，以及表示理论在枚举几何和物理中的应用。该项目将促进该领域最新成果的传播，促进和加强世界各地从事表示理论及相关课题的数学家之间广泛的科学交流与合作。会议网站是http://reims.math.cnrs.fr/pevzner/aak81.html。

The international conference Representation Theory at the Crossroads of Modern Mathematics will be held May 29 - June 2, 2017 at the University of Reims Champagne - Ardenne (France). This project is to support the participation of U.S.-based researchers in the event. The conference will consist of twenty-seven talks given by the leading international researchers in representation theory and it will foster a high level of interaction and collaboration among a diverse, international group of mathematicians. Participation of U.S.-based researchers in the event will contribute to the current strength of domestic mathematical research and support the development of the next generation of researchers in the United States.The unifying theme of the conference will be the impact of the oribit method of A. Kirillov in representation theory. Talks will cover a wide range of topics in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, including quantum groups, integrable systems, geometric quantization, cohomology of algebraic groups, and applications of representation theory in enumerative geometry and physics. The program will advance the dissemination of the newest results in the field and catalyze and strengthen a broad spectrum of scientific exchanges and collaborations between mathematicians from around the world working in representation theory and related topics.
