Mini-courses will be given in ENV/005 in the Environment and Geography department. 

The speakers are

Maud De Visscher ("Diagrammatic Kazhdan-Lusztig theory")

Rob Muth ("Quiver Hecke algebras and RoCK blocks of symmetric groups")

Dani Tubbenhauer* ("Analytic theory of monoidal categories").  

And plenary talks will be given by: 

Stephen Donkin

Catharina Stroppel

 This summer school will serve as an introduction to the recent advances in Lie theory made possible using geometric and categorical ideas. There will be a five-day conference in York the following week, for which registration is separate and details can be found here.  

Registration is now closed.

There will be a conference fee of £150 for students and  £250 otherwise.  The conference fee will cover all your accommodation expenses as well as breakfasts.  We also hope to be able to make some contribution toward the travel expenses of attendees.   If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact one of the organisers:

Chris Bowman, Jonathan Gruber, Amit Hazi
