Dear Colleagues We are pleased to announce a
Workshop on Computational Group Theory and Computational Representation Theory 27th to 31st January 2020, Isaac Newton Institute, Cambridge UK. This workshop has two main components. The first is, in part for the benefit of those researchers who do not currently use computational tools in their research, to give an introduction to computing with finite simple groups, representations, algebraic groups, abstract categories and other related topics. The second is to discuss big challenges in computational representation theory. Examples are the classification of maximal subgroups of finite simple groups, and the various conjectures on p-local subgroups. Another is the Matrix Group Recognition Project: what are the major open problems? How can the existing machinery be best used? A last one is the state of techniques to work with linear groups defined over infinite domains. Machinery in this area remains very limited. For more information, and to apply to participate, please see https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/graw02 There is limited financial support available to cover registration fees, please apply on the website above. The deadline for applications is 27th October 2019. Best wishes, The organisers: Eamonn O’Brien, Derek Holt, Jean Michel and Colva Roney-Dougal ************************************* Colva Roney-Dougal Professor of Pure Mathematics Director of Undergraduate Mathematics Admissions The University of St Andrews is a charity registered in Scotland : No SC013532 _______________________________________________ Forum mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gap-system.org/mailman/listinfo/forum
