Conference: Algebraic Cycles, K-Theory and Modular Representation Theory: Progress and Prospects; September 16-19, 2004

这笔赠款将部分支持一个会议，该会议将汇集许多世界领先的数学家来调查当前的发展，报告最近的进展，并预测代数循环，K理论和模表示理论的未来发展。 这些主题之间的联系是代数和代数几何的融合，受代数拓扑学的技术和动机的影响。 代数圈的进展，以及代数K-理论的相关结果，是戏剧性的。 主要贡献者动机上同调的基础这一进展，布洛赫，苏斯林和Voevodsky，已同意参加。 相关调查包括劳森、利希滕鲍姆、步行者和韦贝尔的工作，他们都同意参与。 涉及上同调技术的模表示理论的发展，如支持变种，也产生了相当大的兴奋，一些领先的研究人员在这一领域Benson、中野和Parshall也将参加这次会议。会议地点是西北大学，埃文斯顿，伊利诺伊州，从星期四，2004年9月16日至星期日9月19日。 事实上，大多数的讲师将数学家谁曾与弗里德兰德方面的上述主题。 会议计划支持一些年轻人的参与，无论是在博士后和高级研究生水平，使它将有助于刺激增加兴趣和参与这些令人兴奋的数学主题。 详情请浏览http://www.math.northwestern.edu/conferences/friedlander

DMS-0354924Roy JoshuaThis grant will partially support a conference which will bring together many of the world's leading mathematicians to survey current developments, report on recent progress, and anticpate future developments in algebraic cycles, K-theory and modular representation theory. The link between these topics is the blend of algebra and algebraic geometry, influenced by techniques and motivation from algebraic topology. Progress in algebraic cycles, with related results in algebraic K-theory, has been dramatic. The principal contributors to motivic cohomology which underlies this progress, Bloch, Suslin, and Voevodsky, have agreed to participate. Related investigations include work of Lawson, Lichtenbaum, Walker, and Weibel, all of whom have agreed to participate. Developments in modular representation theory involving cohomological techniques such as support varieties have also generated considerable excitement, and some of the leading researchers in this area (Benson, Nakano and Parshall) will alsoparticipate in this conference.The occasion of this conference is the 60th birthday of Eric Friedlander; the venue is Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, from Thursday, September 16- Sunday September 19, 2004. Indeed, most of the lecturers will be mathematicians who have collaborated with Friedlander on aspects of the topics mentioned above. The conference plans to support participation by a number of young people, at both the post-doctoral and advanced graduate student level, so that it will serve to stimulate increased interest and participation in these exciting mathematical topics.
