BIREP Summer School on Cohen–Macaulay Modules in Representation Theory
12 August – 16 August 2019
Cohen–Macaulay Modules in Representation Theory
Location: Hotel Waldcafé Jäger, Bad Driburg
Organisers: Sebastian Eckert, Jan Geuenich, Ulrike Hansper, Yuta Kimura, Julia Sauter
Invited speaker: Prof. Graham J. Leuschke
Funding: The summer school is supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in the framework of an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship endowed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Participants: The summer school is primarily intended for PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers.
Abstract
The study of Cohen-Macaulay modules connects representation theory with many other areas such as commutative algebra, singularity theory and physics. CM-finiteness is one of the fundamental problems. Classically, this has been studied for lattices over orders and hypersurface singularities. A powerful tool to visualize, analyze and understand the category of Cohen-Macaulay modules for (non-commutative) isolated singularities, in particular in all CM-finite cases, is provided by Auslander-Reiten theory. The stable category of Cohen-Macaulay modules over a Gorenstein ring is our prototype of a triangulated category. In results of Buchweitz and Orlov it is linked to algebraic geometry and in results of Iyama and others to cluster theory.
Notes
Most participants gave a talk on a specific topic. In addition there was a series of three talks given by our invited speaker Graham Leuschke. Notes of the talks are available here:
