Combinatorics of Group Actions and its Applications Workshop
Speakers
Details
This workshop is a joint activity between the Atlantic Algebra Centre and the Network of Ontario Lie Theorists focusing on modern developments in the theory of group actions (gradings on algebras, actions on lattices and varieties) and its applications (polynomial identities, representation theory and Schubert calculus).
We plan to put an additional stress on the current activities in the theory of polynomial identities where the combinatorial methods of representation theory have always been one of the major tools. Recently, an additional boost to this area was given by considering identities of algebras with Hopf-algebra actions.
The workshop will be host to 30-40 participants from different countries and will include several mini-courses given by leading experts, as well as research talks given by senior researchers and short presentations by young researchers. The major purpose of the workshop is to give an opportunity for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to present their results and to learn from top specialists and experts in their respective fields.
