Perspectives in Representation Theory
Share this pageEdited by Pavel Etingof; Mikhail Khovanov; Alistair Savage
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference Perspectives in
Representation Theory, held from May 12–17, 2012, at Yale University,
in honor of Igor Frenkel's 60th birthday.
The aim of the conference was to present current progress on the
following (interrelated) topics: vertex operator algebras and chiral
algebras, conformal field theory, the (geometric) Langlands program,
affine Lie algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, quantum groups, crystal bases
and canonical bases, quantum cohomology and K-theory, geometric
representation theory, categorification, higher-dimensional Kac-Moody
theory, integrable systems, quiver varieties, representations of real
and \(p\)-adic groups, and quantum gauge theories.
The papers in this volume present representation theory connections
to numerous other subjects, as well as some of the most recent
advances in representation theory, including those which occurred
thanks to the application of techniques in other areas of mathematics,
and of ideas of quantum field theory and string theory.
Readership
