Lie-Størmer Center Summer School

TiME 2025

Invariant Theory
from classics to modern developments

A graduate school on the shoulders of Cayley and Sylvester.

Lie-Størmer Center, Tromsø, Norway | May 26 - 30, 2025

The school will provide a multifaceted viewpoint on the theory of invariants, tracing its origin to the pioneering works of Cayley and Sylvester, connecting the theory of XIX century and its development through computational algebra, modern algebraic geometry, and applications to other applied sciences.

The acronym TiME stands for Treasures in Mathematical Encounters.
The first TiME event took place in 2019 in Levico (Trento, Italy) and it focused on Curves and Surfaces.

We will have 4 mini-courses exploring the connections between the questions that interested mathematicians in the past and how these theories evolved in contemporary mathematics and their applications.
