Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Arithmetic harmonic analysis on character and quiver varieties ---------------------------------------------------------------- June 4 to June 8, 2007 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center Palo Alto, California http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/charvarieties.html ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to bringing together mathematicians working on the following circle of ideas: cohomology of character and quiver varieties, representation theory of finite groups and algebras of Lie type, applications of the Weil conjectures to cohomological calculations, geometric representation theory of various finite and infinite dimensional algebras, and the combinatorics of Macdonald polynomials. Specific questions to be addressed during the workshop are described on the announcement page. The workshop is organized by Tamas Hausel, Emmanuel Letellier, and Fernando Rodriguez-Villegas. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/ARCC/workshops/charvarieties.html Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than February 15, 2007. Applications are open to all, and we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities, junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily undergraduate institutions to apply. Before submitting an application, please read the ARCC policies concerning participation and financial support for participants. -------------------------------------- AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC): -------------------------------------- The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an important new result, or investigating the convergence between two distinct areas of mathematics.
