Workshop

In recent years there have been increasing interactions between noncommutative algebra/representation theory on the one hand and algebraic geometry on the other. This workshop would aim to examine these interactions and, as importantly, to encourage the interactions between the three areas. The precise topics will become more precise nearer the time, but will certainly include: Noncommutative algebraic geometry Noncommutative resolutions of singularities and Calabi-Yau algebras Symplectic reflection and related algebras D-module theory Deformation-quantization Speakers: Konstantin Ardakov (Queen Mary, University of London) Gwyn Bellamy (University of Glasgow) Roman Bezrukavnikov (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Raf Bocklandt (Newcastle University) Ken Brown (University of Glasgow) Ragnar Buchweitz (University of Toronto) Colin Ingalls (University of New Brunswick) Ivan Loseu (Northeastern University) Daniel Murfet (University of California, Los Angeles) David Nadler (University of California, Berkeley) Hiraku Nakajima (Kyoto University) Alexei Oblomkov (University of Massachusetts) Daniel Rogalski (University of California, San Diego) Raphaël Rouquier (University of California, Los Angeles) Peng Shan (Université de Caen) Susan Sierra (University of Edinburgh) Gonçalo Tabuada (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Michel Van den Bergh (Universiteit Hasselt) Sarah Witherspoon (Texas A & M University) Milen Yakimov (Louisiana State University) Survey Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?usp=drive_web&formkey=dDhCYm5IMlVCYm5FTTBiM3lWZGt0V1E6MA#gid=0 Accommodation: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Rose Garden Inn.
