Algebraic Groups (hybrid meeting)
Workshop
2116Period
18 Apr - 24 Apr 2021Abstract
Linear algebraic groups is an active research area in contempo-
rary mathematics. It has rich connections to algebraic geometry, representa-
tion theory, algebraic combinatorics, number theory, algebraic topology, and
differential equations. The foundations of this theory were laid by A. Borel,
C. Chevalley, J.-P. Serre, T. A. Springer and J. Tits in the second half of
the 20th century. The Oberwolfach workshops on algebraic groups, led by
Springer and Tits, played an important role in this effort as a forum for re-
searchers, meeting at approximately 3 year intervals since the 1960s. The
present workshop continued this tradition, covering a range of topics, with
an emphasis on recent developments in the subject.
