Summer School and Workshop on Cohomology and Support in Representation Theory and Related Topics
Month: July 2012
Date: July 27--August 5
Name: Summer School and Workshop on Cohomology and Support in Representation Theory and Related Topics
Location: University of Washington, Seattle, Washington.
Description
The theme of this two-week event will be a survey of the state of the art in the use of cohomology and support in the study of representation theory, commutative algebra, triangulated categories, and various related topics. The first week (July 27-30) will be a preparatory summer school intended for graduate students and recent doctoral students. The summer school will consist of three mini-courses on (1) Descent techniques in modular representation theory by P. Balmer (UCLA); (2) Modules of constant Jordan type and vector bundles on projective spaces by D. Benson (Univ. of Aberdeen); and (3) Commutative algebra for modular representations of finite groups by S. Iyengar (Univ. of Nebraska, Lincoln). The second week (August 1-5) will be a workshop consisting of talks on the latest developments in the field.
Funding/deadline
Funding is available to support the participation of graduate students and recent doctoral students. The deadline to apply for funding is March 19, 2012.
