This workshop will have a view to the future of a broad spectrum of topics including
structure and classification of finite dimensional Lie algebras and superalgebras in characteristic p
structure of infinite dimensional Lie algebras and their representations
deformation theory of algebras, double constructions and elemental Lie algebras
diagram algebras and combinatorial representation theory
algebraic combinatorics of groups of Lie type:characters, Schur-Weyl duality, Bratteli diagrams, and McKay correspondences
quantum groups and crystal bases, particularly for superalgebras and affine algebras
examples of fusion categories arising from representations of Drinfeld doubles and other algebras
cohomology for finite tensor categories with applications to its underlying geometry
This meeting will feature principal contributors in these areas in a celebration of the work of Georgia Benkart. With the same focus and tenacity that Georgia always had, we will strive to provide a conference full of beautiful mathematics, incredible inspiration, and the warmth of Georgia’s welcoming personality to our field and our community.
