Subject: announcement From: Jon Carlson Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 14:22:19 -0400 (EDT) Announcing a semester program in the Representation Theory of Finite Groups and Related Topics at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley January - May, 2008 Organizers: Jonathan Alperin, Michel Broue, Jon Carlson (chair), Alexander Kleshchev, Jeremy Rickard and Bhama Srinivasan During the spring semester of 2008, there will be a program on the Representation Theory of Finite Groups at MSRI in Berkeley. The program will focus on many areas of representation theory as well as connections to other subjects such as algebraic topology and the representations of algebraic groups. It will run concurrently with a program on Combinatorial Representation Theory. Workshops will focus on major problems in representation theory as well as applications to other ares of mathematics. For more details, see the MSRI web site: http://www.msri.org/calendar/programs/ProgramInfo/247/show_program =============== A major purpose of this email is to announce that: The MSRI web site is now accepting application for membership in the program. The applications materials can be found on the web site: http://www.msri.org/propapps/applications/application_material The deadlines for applications for Members with Early Consideration is October 6, 2006. The deadlines for Members and Postdoctoral Fellows is December 15, 2006. The organizers want to encourage anyone who is interested to apply for one of the categories of membership.
