for this workshop
Representation stability
at the
American Institute of Mathematics, San Jose, California
organized by
Andrew Putman, Steven Sam, Andrew Snowden, and David Speyer
This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to recent developments in representation stability. Among these developments are results on algebraic and combinatorial aspects of functor categories and stable representation categories, and the use of "large" algebraic structures on limit objects to obtain finiteness results. A key goal will be to foster an exchange of ideas between the algebraic, topological, and combinatorial sides of the subject.
The main topics for the workshop are:
- stabilization phenomena in combinatorial representation theory
- applications to and generalizations of homological stability
- finiteness and boundedness in algebro-geometric problems related to tensors and families of highly symmetric varieties
The workshop will differ from typical conferences in some regards. Participants will be invited to suggest open problems and questions before the workshop begins, and these will be posted on the workshop website. These include specific problems on which there is hope of making some progress during the workshop, as well as more ambitious problems which may influence the future activity of the field. Lectures at the workshop will be focused on familiarizing the participants with the background material leading up to specific problems, and the schedule will include discussion and parallel working sessions.
The deadline to apply for support to participate in this workshop has passed.
