Summer Schools on Representations of Groups and Algebras (1998-2001)

Supported by EU (TMR: Training and Mobility of Researchers)

Aims and Scope

1998:

• Summer School: 'Springer Correspondence'. Picquigny, France. September 21 - 28, 1998.
  Theme: Character sheaves were developed to understand the irreducible characters of finite groups of Lie type. The participants will read through Shoji's article in Astérisque 168. In the last part, there will be series of lectures by T.A.Springer and by T.Shoji.

1999:

• Summer School and Workshop: 'Hall Algebras and Quantum Groups'. Hesselberg, Germany, August 22 - 29.
  Theme: Hall algebras provide an algebraic approach to the combinatorics of a root system, and they can be used to prove the existence of Lusztig and Kashiwara's canonical bases for quantum groups.

2000:

• Summer School: 'Geometry of Quiver-representations and Preprojective Algebras'.
  Isle of Thorn, UK. September 10 - 17, 2000.
  Theme: The use of algebraic geometry in representation theory. Topics: Degenerations of modules, theorem of Kac, moduli of representations, geometry of representations of preprojective algebras and quiver varieties.

2001:

• Summer School: 'Homological Conjectures for Finite-dimensional Algebras'.
  Nordfjordeid, Norway. August 12 - 19, 2001.
  Theme: Certain homological conjectures will be studied, in particular the finistic dimension conjecture and the (generalized) Nakayama conjecture.
