[GAP Forum] Introductory Workshop to the programme "Groups, Representations and Applications"

[Gerhard Hiss]

Dear colleagues,

This is to announce the "Introductory/instructional workshop",
January 6 - January 10 2020, as part of the programme "Groups, 
representations and applications: new perspectives" of the 
Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, January - 
July 2020.

The workshop will provide participants with an overview of the 
programme topics and how they fit together. This will be achieved 
by providing an account of the state of the art of each of the 
programme themes, as well as an introduction to the major open 
problems in each area. We anticipate that this will be especially 
beneficial to Early Career Researchers and those wishing to work 
at the interface between group- and representation theory and 
other areas.

There will be in particular lectures on finite reductive groups, 
their subgroups and their representations, on local global conjectures 
in group representation theory, and on fusion systems. There will also 
be lectures on modern algorithmic methods for finitely presented groups 
and matrix groups. Connections with other areas of mathematics will 
also be presented.

For more information, and to apply to participate, please see
https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/graw01

There is limited financial support available to cover registration 
fees, please apply on the website above.

The deadline for applications is 13th October 2019.

Best wishes,

The organisers:
Marc Cabanes, David Craven, Gerhard Hiss and Gunter Malle
