Representation Theory and Lie Theory

22 June to 26 June 2009

Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK

Organisers: M Geck (University of Aberdeen), A Kleshchev (University of Oregon) and G Röhrle (Ruhr-Universität Bochum).

in association with the Newton Institute programme Algebraic Lie Theory (12 January to 26 June 2009)

Theme of conference:

This is the concluding conference of the programme on Algebraic Lie Theory. It brings together leading experts of the various branches in this field, ranging from classical Lie theory to the modern use of geometric methods in representation theory. The goal is to review the state of the art and to map out new directions in this highly dynamic and interdisciplinary area of current research.
