Tuesday 24 September to Thursday 26 September 2019
The representation theory group at Bielefeld will celebrate in September 2019 the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of Mathematics with a workshop. Right after the workshop the Faculty of Mathematics will host a two day conference (26–27 September).
From the very beginning in 1969, algebra and group theory were important areas of research at Bielefeld University. In 1978 Claus Michael Ringel moved to Bielefeld and created a research group working on representation theory of associative algebras. The recent activities in representation theory are supported through an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship (see the announcement and a journal article).
We aim to celebrate the achievements in the representation theory of algebras over the last 50 years, and highlight the open problems and interesting directions to keep people working into the future.
Location: Bielefeld University, please see the Programme page for details.
Organisers: Bill Crawley-Boevey, Henning Krause
Schedule: The workshop starts on Tuesday morning and ends on Thursday around noon, please see the Programme page for details. The social programme includes a dinner on Wednesday evening and the opportunity to see the play "Mathematische Spaziergänge mit Emmy Noether" (in German) on Thursday evening.
Funding: Limited support for participants is available. The meeting is supported by the the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in the framework of an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship endowed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
Invited speakers include:
