Presentation
The CIMPA research school "Representation Theory and Applications to Differential Equations" is intended for PhD and postdoctoral students from Jamaica and surrounding Caribbean and American countries and specifically for students in the region. The CIMPA research school “Representation Theory and Applications to Differential Equations" offers courses and research talks on advanced research topics related to the representation theory of groups and algebras, related differential equations and other topics. The school lasts two weeks, featuring 6 courses and 12 research talks.
The topics of the school include Representation Theory of groups and algebras and their applications to Differential Equations, including integral representations, integral group rings, Vertex algebras, algebras of differential operators, representations of Krichever-Novikov algebras, Hilbert series of Calabi-Yau algebras, differential conformal superalgebras, soliton theory for Korteveg-de-Vries Equation, Heun functions and applications in the physics of black holes.
