Workshop

Cluster algebras provide a unifying algebraic/combinatorial framework for a wide variety of phenomena in settings as diverse as quiver representations, Teichmuller theory,  Poisson geometry, Lie theory, discrete integrable systems, and polyhedral combinatorics.The workshop aims at presenting a broad view of the state-of-the-art understanding of the role of cluster algebras in all these areas, and their interactions with each other.Speakers:Philippe Di Francesco (CEA-Saclay, France)Anna Felikson (Jacobs University Bremen, Germany)Christof Geiss (UNAM, Mexico)Michael Gekhtman (University of Notre Dame)David Hernandez (University Paris 7)Osamu Iyama (Nagoya University, Japan)Bernhard Keller (Université Paris Diderot - Paris 7, France)Richard Kenyon (Brown University)Robert Marsh (University of Leeds, United Kingdom)Tomoki Nakanishi (Nagoya University, Japan)Pierre-Guy Plamondon (Université Paris-Sud, France)Pavlo Pylyavskyy (University of Minnesota)Idun Reiten (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway)Michael Shapiro (Michigan State University)Hugh Thomas (University of New Brunswick, Canada)Lauren Williams (University of California, Berkeley)Accommodation:A block of rooms has been reserved at the Rose Garden Inn.
