Representation Theory, Symplectic Geometry, and Cluster Algebras (25w5439)

The Banff International Research Station will host the “Representation Theory, Symplectic Geometry, and Cluster Algebras” workshop in Banff from March 30 to April 4, 2025.

The workshop brings together experts coming primarily from two distinct areas, known as symplectic geometry and representation theory of algebras. These two areas have recently established common threads running through a third area, known as cluster algebras, which itself has been a very productive area of mathematical research since their introduction in the early 2000s. Besides these main areas of mathematics, participants with expertise in a number of satellite areas with connections to the main two will also join in order to stimulate additional discoveries in these related areas.

The workshop will catalyze scientific discoveries between these areas, and also provide a platform for training and mentorship of early career researchers in these areas, all with a commitment to inclusion and equitable treatment of a diverse group of participants.

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada’s Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and Alberta’s Advanced Education and Technology.
