Expanding representation in Noncommutative Algebra and Representation Theory: WINART2 Workshop

该奖项支持代表性不足的少数民族参与2019年5月20日至24日在利兹大学举行的非交换代数和表示理论研讨会（WINART 2）。非交换代数和表示论是代数中两个紧密交织的研究领域，与数学和量子物理中的许多其他领域有着密切的联系，如共形场论，算子代数，弦理论，拓扑场论以及非交换几何的各种伪装。非交换代数创建了一个代数框架，用于将多项式的研究推广到其他不能交换的环，而表示论是一个强大的工具，用于研究代数对象在空间上作为线性算子和矩阵的作用。与许多数学领域一样，妇女在这些研究领域的代表性不足。本次研讨会的目标是汇集一些最好的专家和初级参与者在这些主题上工作，特别是来自代表性不足的群体的研究人员，合作研究项目。这将是这些领域的第二次此类研讨会。与第一届WINART研讨会（2016年3月在BIRS举行）一样，WINART 2将对与会者的研究事业产生巨大影响，因此，它将对整个研究领域产生积极影响。资金将优先用于美国的初级参与者。将有八个研究小组出席研讨会，由一对非交换代数和表示论的研究领导人领导。主题包括：聚类类别;张量不变量下的霍普夫代数行动;代数，几何和范畴方面的图代数;布劳尔和分区代数;几何模型和表示理论;伯恩赛德环和麦基函子profinite群;量子对称性-融合范畴和霍普夫代数;和Hochschild（上）同调，箭图和Gerstenhaber括号。更多信息可以在研讨会网站上找到：http://women-in-ncalg-repthy.org/conferences/winart2-workshop-may-2019/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award supports the participation of underrepresented minorities in the Women in Noncommutative Algebra and Representation Theory workshop (WINART2) at the University of Leeds on May 20 - 24, 2019. Noncommutative algebra and representation theory are two closely intertwined areas of research in Algebra that have strong ties to many other fields in mathematics and quantum physics such as conformal field theory, operator algebras, string theory, topological field theory, and the various guises of noncommutative geometry. Noncommutative algebra creates an algebraic framework for generalizing the study of polynomials to other rings that fail to be commutative, and representation theory is a powerful tool for investigating the action of an algebraic object on a space as linear operators and matrices. As in many areas of mathematics, women have been underrepresented in these areas of research. The goal of this workshop to bring together some of the best experts and junior participants working on these topics, particularly researchers from underrepresented groups, to collaborate on research projects. This workshop will be the second of its kind for these fields. Like the first WINART workshop (held at BIRS in March 2016), WINART2 will have a great impact on the research careers of those in attendance, and as a result, it will positively impact the research area as a whole. Funding will be prioritized for US-based junior participants.There will be eight research groups present at the workshop led by a pair of research leaders in Noncommutative Algebra and Representation Theory. Topics include: cluster categories; tensor invariants under Hopf algebra actions; algebraic, geometric, and categorical aspects of diagram algebras; Brauer and partition algebras; geometric models and representation theory; Burnside rings and Mackey functors for profinite groups; quantum symmetries- fusion categories and Hopf algebras; and Hochschild (co)homology, quivers and Gerstenhaber bracket.
