Summer School in Geometric Representation Theory

Practical Information

The lectures will take place between 9:30-12 every day in room 2-190 at MIT (they will be preceded by refreshments around 9:15) as well as between 2:30-3:30 on Wednesday and Thursday in 2-190. We will also have afternoon problem sessions in room 2-105 at MIT, between 1:15-2:15, run my Dmytro Matvieievskyi.

Mathematics

This will be an intensive, 5-day summer school geared toward graduate students in geometric representation theory. It will include a lecture series, discussions and problem sessions. Prerequisites are the equivalent of one year graduate courses in algebraic geometry and Lie theory.

Logistics

Lodging is very expensive in Cambridge in June, so if you have family or friends you can stay with, that would be easiest. Otherwise, please ask your advisor/department if they can cover the costs of lodging and travel (and we can help you find a room even if paying with your own funds, just let us know on the registration form).

For graduate students only: we have some funding available for lodging and travel, and please indicate whether you need any on your registration form (Deadline: March 15). In this case, please ask your advisor to email a short letter of recommendation to Rosalee Zammuto (rzammuto@mit.edu). If we'll be able to support you, we can reimburse plane/train/bus travel to the Boston area (so not local taxis) capped at the following amounts depending on your geographic location.

Northeast: $200
Midwest and Southeast: $400
West and Southwest: $600
