Upcoming Events
Autumn School & Conference. New developments in representation theory of algebras: algebraic, combinatorial and geometric aspects
This event will bring together some junior and senior researchers to exchange and discuss the new developments in representation theory of algebras, combinatorics, algebraic geometry, polytopal geometry, cluster algebras and some aspects of theoretical physics. After a 5-day school centred around 4 mini-courses on some new directions of research, the event resumes with a 5-day conference that includes a broader range of subjects and speakers, as well as a poster session. We hope to encourage collaboration and collective research.
