Organizers: Hélène Barcelo (MSRI / Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath)), Ellen Kirkman (Wake Forest University), Gail Letzter (Retired ), Daniel Nakano (University of Georgia), Arun Ram (University of Melbourne)This workshop will have a view to the future of a broad spectrum of topics including
- structure and classification of finite dimensional Lie algebras and superalgebras in characteristic p
- structure of infinite dimensional Lie algebras and their representations
- deformation theory of algebras, double constructions and elemental Lie algebras
- diagram algebras and combinatorial representation theory
- algebraic combinatorics of groups of Lie type:characters, Schur-Weyl duality, Bratteli diagrams, and McKay correspondences
- quantum groups and crystal bases, particularly for superalgebras and affine algebras
- examples of fusion categories arising from representations of Drinfeld doubles and other algebras

This meeting will feature principal contributors in these areas in a celebration of the work of Georgia Benkart. With the same focus and tenacity that Georgia always had, we will strive to provide a conference full of beautiful mathematics, incredible inspiration, and the warmth of Georgia’s welcoming personality to our field and our community.

Hot Topics: Life after the Telescope Conjecture
Organizers: LEAD Agnes Beaudry (University of Colorado), Michael Hill (University of California, Los Angeles), Vesna Stojanoska (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)In June 2023, Burklund, Hahn, Levy, and Schlank surprised the homotopy theory community when they announced a disproof of Ravenel's Telescope Conjecture, a fundamental problem of homotopy theory which had been open for 40 years and was believed to be out of reach. The disproof of the Telescope Conjecture combines some of the most exciting recent developments in homotopy theory. This includes fundamental work on red-shift phenomena and descent in algebraic K-theory, trace methods based on a novel approach to topological Hochschild and cyclic homology, ambidexterity in chromatic homotopy theory, and more.
The workshop will explore this amazing body of work, culminating in its synthesis and ingenious application to disprove the Telescope Conjecture.

Organizers: Po-Ling Loh (University of Cambridge), Gabor Lugosi (ICREA), Sofia Olhede (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL)), Roberto Oliveira (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IMPA)), LEAD Miklos Racz (Northwestern University)In a growing number of applications, one needs to analyze and interpret data coming from massive networks. The statistical problems arising from such applications lead to important mathematical challenges: building novel probabilistic models, understanding the possibilities and limitations for statistical detection and inference, designing efficient algorithms, and understanding the inherent limitations of fast algorithms. The workshop will bring together leading researchers in combinatorial statistics, machine learning, and random graphs in the hope of cross-fertilization of ideas.
