摘要首席研究员：Rojkovskaia， Natalia提案编号：DMS - 0914836机构：堪萨斯州立大学题目：代数与表示理论研究生研究会议第二届代数与表示理论研究生研究会议将于2009年春季学期末由堪萨斯州立大学（曼哈顿）主办。活动日期为2009年5月23日至5月25日。会议的特色是由主讲人在代数和表示理论领域进行两个一小时的讲座。剩下的讲座时长为20/40分钟，由研究生主持。会议的组织工作也由主办大学的研究生承担。会议的主题包括代数与表示理论之间的相互作用，特别是环理论、交换代数及其在代数几何中的应用、同调理论、有限群的表示、Hecke代数、代数群、量子群、李代数、顶点算子代数。会议的主要目标之一是增加来自不同大学的研究生之间的互动。参与者将交流研究进展，培养表达能力，结识未来的同事，并为未来的合作找到联系。鼓励妇女和少数民族参加会议。

ABSTRACTPrincipal Investigator: Rojkovskaia, Natalia Proposal Number: DMS - 0914836 Institution: Kansas State University Title: Graduate Research Conference in Algebra and Representation TheoryThe Second Graduate Research Conference in Algebra and Representation Theory will be hosted by Kansas State University (Manhattan) at the end of the Spring semester, 2009. The dates of the event are May 23-May 25, 2009. The conference features two one-hour lectures by keynote speakers in the fields of algebra and representation theory. The rest of the talks will be 20/40 minutes in length and will be presented by graduate students. The organization of the conference is also taken by graduate students from the hosting university.The topics of the conference cover interactions between algebra and representation theory, in particular, ring theory, commutative algebra and its applications to algebraic geometry, homology theory, representations of finite groups, Hecke algebras, algebraic groups, quantum groups, Lie algebras, vertex operator algebras. One of the main goals of the conference is to increase the interaction of graduate students from different universities. The participants will communicate on the research progress, develop presentational skills, get aquainted with future collegues and find the connections for future collaboration. Women and minorities are encouraged to particiapte in the conference.
