Geometric Representation Theory: A Double Conference

“几何表示理论”会议将于2020年6月22日至26日举行，将有一个新颖的形式，因为它将在两个地点同时举行：加拿大滑铁卢的周长研究所和德国波恩的马克斯·普朗克数学研究所。这次会议将汇集来自两大洲的该领域的广泛研究人员，并突出表示理论方面的一些令人兴奋的方向，这是一个与几何、数论和物理有着深刻联系的活跃研究领域。组织者邀请了该领域的15位领导人进行演讲，这些演讲将在两个地点同时播出，分别在一个大陆和另一个大陆通过视频会议进行直播。由于时差，欧洲的上午和北美的下午不适合进行共享讲座，在此期间，将有初级研究人员在当地进行演讲，并有讨论和协作的时间。双地点模式旨在降低会议的差旅成本和碳足迹，同时仍鼓励国际合作。美国国家科学基金会的资金将用于支持10至15名初出茅庐或来自数学科学中代表性不足的群体的研究人员参加在北美地点举行的会议。受邀的演讲者代表了属于几何表示理论主题的广泛领域，会议的目的是促进这些群体之间以及两个地点之间的互动。讲座将重点介绍一些激动人心的方向，包括与物理相互作用的最新进展，几何和经典朗兰兹程序之间的联系，新的同伦方法，组合表示理论和拓扑学。会议网站的地址是：https://perimeterinstitute.ca/conferences/geometric-representation-theoryThis奖反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The conference "Geometric Representation Theory" will take place June 22-26, 2020 and will have a novel format, in that it will be held simultaneously in two locations: at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, Canada and also the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn, Germany. The conference will bring together a wide range of researchers in the field from across both continents and highlight a number of exciting directions in representation theory, an active area of research with deep connections to geometry, number theory and physics. The organizers have invited fifteen leaders in the field to give lectures that will be shown at both sites simultaneously, live on one continent and on the other by video conferencing. Due to the time difference, the morning in Europe and afternoon in North America are not suitable for shared talks, and during this time, there will be local talks given by junior researchers and time for discussion and collaboration. The double location format is designed to lower the travel costs and carbon footprint of the conference while still encouraging international collaboration. NSF funds will be used to support ten to fifteen researchers who are early-career or from groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences to attend the conference at the North American site.The invited speakers represent a wide range of areas falling within the topic of geometric representation theory and the conference will aim to facilitate interaction between these groups and between the two locations. Talks will highlight a number of exciting directions including recent advances from interactions with physics, connections between the geometric and classical Langlands program, new homotopical methods, combinatorial representation theory and topology.
