About the Research School
Representation Theory of Lie algebras and Group Theory will be the topics of the Research School 
                                 Algebraic Representation Theory 2015.

Recent research trends including :

• interactions between finite groups and infinite dimensional Lie algebras,
• connections between quantum groups and knot theory

will be at the hearth of the research school. 

The basic material will be provided in 6 mini-courses, and 14 one-hour advanced lectures will provide
related and more advanced materials.  All mini-courses and talks will be in English, but some of the mini-course lecturers fluently speak Portuguese, French and German.
Topics

• Finite groups, representation theory and combinatorial structures
  
• Kac-Moody algebras, vertex operators and applications
  
• Modular representations of  the Symmetric group.
  
• Representation Theory of Lie Algebras 
  
• An introduction to topologizing filters on rings
