Representation of Affine and quantum Affine Algebras and their Applications

该奖项支持在北卡罗莱纳州立大学举行的“仿射和量子仿射代数的表示及其应用”会议。本次会议旨在汇集在仿射李代数和量子仿射代数及其应用的不同方面工作的专家。参与者将包括在该领域工作的高级、中级和初级研究人员。将作出特别努力，确保参加者的名单多样化。这次会议关注的是一个叫做李代数的数学对象。李代数是由另一个对象李群产生的。李群的一个例子是球体的旋转，其中一个旋转之后是另一个旋转。李群和李代数在涉及到精子运动分析的领域是重要的。

9802449 Misra This award supports a conference on "Representations of Affine and Quantum Affine Algebras and Their Applications" at North Carolina State University. This conference aims to bring together experts working in different aspects of affine Lie algebras and quantum affine algebras as well as their applications. The participants will involve senior, mid-level and junior researchers working in this area. Special efforts will be made to assure that the list of participants is diverse. This conference is concerned with a mathematical object called a Lie algebra. Lie algebras arise from another object called a Lie group. An example of a Lie group is the rotations of a sphere where one rotation is followed by another. Lie groups and Lie algebras are important in areas involving analysis of sperical motion.
