Mathematical Sciences: Conference on Groups, Lie Algebras and the Monster; May 24-28, 1996; Columbus, Ohio

9626631菲拉尔这笔赠款支持将于1996年春季季度在俄亥俄州立大学举行的关于群、李代数和怪物的会议。为期五天的会议的目标是促进来自群论和李理论领域的数学家之间的互动。将涵盖的主题包括：量子群、顶点算符、模李代数和零星单群。这是在代数领域的研究。代数可以看作是对抽象对称性的研究。因此，代数在物理和化学领域有直接的应用。特别是，现代物理学中的规范场理论广泛地使用了这一代数领域。此外，还与编码理论和跨通信线路的数据传输有关。

9626631 Ferrar This grant supports a conference on Groups, Lie Algebras, and the Monster to be held at Ohio state University in the Spring quarter of 1996. The goal of the five day conference is to foster interactions between mathematicians from the area of group theory and lie theory. Topics to be covered include: quantum groups, vertex operators, modular lie algebras and the sporadic simple groups. This is research in the field of algebra. Algebra can be though of as the study of symmetry in the abstract. As such Algebra has direct applications to areas of physics and chemistry. In particular the modern theory of gauge fields in physics uses this area of algebra extensively. There are also connections to coding theory and the transmission of data across communication lines.
