New Directions in Representation Theory

Representation Theory has undergone a revolution in recent years, with the development of new techniques which has led to resolution of many problems previously considered to be intractable. The school aims to provide participants with a taste of these new techniques and exciting recent developments in the area.

It is expected that all participants will be proficient in advanced algebra at an undergraduate level as a prerequisite for the program.
