The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences will host a 5 day
workshop on:
Group Actions - Classical and Derived
Dates: June 13 - 17, 2016
We hope that the workshop will reflect the theme of symmetry in a wide variety of settings, including symplectic geometry and topology, toric manifolds, representation varieties, algebraic stacks, and surgery theory.
This is the FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: the registration and funding applilcation forms can be found on the conference webpage. Those needing support for local expenses or travel are encouraged to apply as soon as possible. Priority for funding will be given to graduate students, recent PhDs and underrepresented groups.
Further details, including a list of confirmed participants and the schedule of talks, will be posted later on the webpage. The number of talks in the program will be limited to allow time for informal discussions, but anyone may propose a talk by sending an email to one of the organizers.
best wishes,
Ian Hambleton
