Overview
This symposium is organized by the Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the Department of Mathematics at NUS, in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong (HKU), the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
Representation theory, with its diverse applications in numerous other fields of mathematics such as harmonic analysis, number theory, and algebraic geometry, is as lively today as it was a century ago. The ideas and methods of representation theory are pervasive in much of the modern mathematics.
The aim of the symposium is to examine important recent developments on the structure, geometry, and representations of Lie groups, algebraic groups, and their various generalizations. A second aim is to promote and sustain efforts in talent cultivation, knowledge exchange, and international collaboration, among scholars/institutions in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.
The symposium is generously sponsored by the Glorious Sun Charity Foundation.
