The goal of this workshop is to foster collaboration between experts in the domains of Lie theory, quantized enveloping algebras, and algebraic combinatorics.
Mini-courses and Research Talks
The workshop will feature three mini-courses on background and exciting new developments in its focus areas, that are targeted at graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and junior researchers.
Mini-course I: Quantum Symmetric Pairs: What they are, where they come from, and how they produce q-special functions. Lecturer: Gail Letzter (Math Research Group, National Security Agency) Mini-course II: Geometric methods in representation theory of algebraic supergroups Lecturer: Vera Serganova (University of California, Berkeley) Mini-course III: Odd Grassmannians Lecturer: Jonathan Brundan (University of Oregon)In addition, the activity will include several research talks that will be interspersed among the mini-course lectures.
