OVERVIEW
Representation theory is the study of the basic symmetries of mathematics and physics. The fundamental aims of geometric representation theory are to uncover the deeper geometric and categorical structures underlying the familiar objects of representation theory and harmonic analysis, and to apply the resulting insights to the resolution of classical problems. The geometric study of representations often reveals deeper layers of structure in the form of categorification. Categorification typically replaces numbers (such as character values) by vector spaces (typically cohomology groups), and vector spaces (such as representation rings) by categories (typically of sheaves).
A primary goal of the school is to introduce some of the latest developments and important research topics in this field to graduate students and young scholars.
