Organizers: Eddy Campbell, David Wehlau
Description:
The first week will be devoted to introductory lectures aimed at graduate students in connection with a theme year on "Groups and
Geometry" being held under the auspices of the Centre de Researche Mathematique in Montreal. Our idea is that the first week would
constitute a school on invariant theory for younger mathematicians, and mathematicians from outside the area.
During this first week, Professors H. Derksen (Michigan), P. Fleischmann (Kent), Hanspeter Kraft (Basel), and G. W. Schwarz (Brandeis), have agreed to give the introductory survey lectures.
The second week will be devoted to a workshop on Invariant Theory. Our expectation is that the younger mathematicians would stay to listen. There will be a number of talks given during this second week, approximately 50 minutes in duration, given by experts in the field. In this second week, we'll be encouraging lectures on current problems in keeping with the workshop nature.
We will leave lots of time for informal discussion in both weeks.
