Introductory Workshop: Noncommutative Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory
Jan 28, 2013 to Feb 1, 2013

Organizer(s)

Michael Artin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT), Michel Van den Bergh* (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), and Toby Stafford (University of Manchester)
To apply for funding, you must register by Sun, Oct 14 2012.
This workshop will provide several short lecture series consisting two or three lectures each to introduce postdocs, graduate students and non-experts to some of the major themes of the conference.  While the precise topics  may change to reflect developments in the area, it is likely that we will run mini-series in the following subjects:

  • Noncommutative algebraic geometry
  • D-Module Theory
  • Derived Categories
  • Noncommutative Resolutions of Singularities
  • Deformation-Quantization
  • Symplectic Reflection Algebras
  • Growth Functions of Infinite Dimensional Algebras
 
Speakers:
Michael Artin (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Jason Bell (Simon Fraser University)
David Ben-Zvi (University of Texas)
Ragnar Buchweitz (University of Toronto)
Maria Chlouveraki (University of Edinburgh)
Vasily Dolgushev (Temple University)
Graham Leuschke (Syracuse University)
Mathilde Marcolli (California Institute of Technology)
Paul Smith (University of Washington)
Toby Stafford (University of Manchester)
Michel Van den Bergh (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
Amnon Yekutieli (Ben Gurion University)
