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 :
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
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
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.
