Women in Representation Theory: Selfinjective Algebras and Beyond

Workshop

Friday, 10 December to Sunday, 12 December 2010


The poster announcing the round table discussion is available in pdf format (1.6MB).
The aim of this workshop is to bring together young female researchers working in representation theory of algebras. There will be a series of three lectures by Karin Erdmann (Oxford) on selfinjective algebras. These lectures will be complemented by contributed talks and ample time for discussion. All talks will be open to the public.

Round table: On Friday afternoon, there will be a round table discussion "Frauenförderung in der Mathematik" with Christine Bessenrodt (Hannover), Karin Erdmann (Oxford), Barbara Gentz (Bielefeld), Mechthild Koreuber (FU Berlin) and Martina Merz (Luzern).

Dates: Friday, 10 December to Sunday, 12 December 2010. The workshop begins on Friday early afternoon and ends on Sunday at noon.

Location: Bielefeld University

Speakers: Karin Erdmann (Oxford), Lidia Angeleri Hügel (Verona), Janine Bastian (Hannover), Karin Baur (Zürich), Magdalena Boos (Wuppertal), Susanne Danz (Oxford), Gabriella D'Este (Mailand), Lingyan Guo (Paris), Anja Hutschenreuter (Wuppertal), Magdalini Lada (Trondheim), Lisa Lamberti (Zürich), Anna-Louise Paasch (Wuppertal), Daiva Pucinskaite (Kiel), Julia Sauter (Leeds), Alexandra Zvonareva (St. Petersburg)

Organisation: Claudia Köhler, Henning Krause

The workshop is supported by the CRC 701 "Spectral Structures and Topological Methods in Mathematics" (SFB) and funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Financial support for female participants is available. If you would like to attend the workshop, or have further questions, please contact Claudia Köhler at ckoehler[at]math.uni-bielefeld.de.
