Representations and Combinatorics

September 10th-14th, 2007

University of Florida

    The Mathematics Department of the University of Florida will hold a conference on Representations of Groups and Combinatorics. The conference will aim at new reasearchers and graduate students as well as established experts and a special feature will be expository lecture sequences by our principal speakers M. Broué, R. Guralnick, A. Kleshchev and A. Turull on various topics of representation theory and their combinatorial aspects, such as the representation theory of symmetric groups, block theory of finite reductive groups, combinatorial representation theory of algebraic groups and applications of representation theory. There will also be a number of more specialized research talks by participants, with an emphasis on discussion of open problems.     The goal is to stimulate research and its dissemination at all levels by providing beginning and young researchers with the opportunity to hear and meet those at the leading edge of current research, as well as for experts in different areas to exchange ideas.

    We especially welcome participation by students, recent PhDs and mathematicians from under-represented groups such as women and minorities. They will be given priority for support for travel and lodging. If you are a graduate student and interested in attending, please contact P. Tiep tiep@math.ufl.edu giving the names of university and your advisor. We hope to invite about 20 graduate students from UF and other universities and about 15 other participants to the conference.

Schedule
Here is a preliminary schedule (updated daily). Abstracts of talks will be added to the schedule as we receive them.

All lectures will take place at the Mathematics Department in Little Hall. Directions to Little Hall can be found at the bottom of the Travel page.
