Representation theory is a central branch of modern mathematics that studies realizations of abstract non-linear structures using classical linear and/or combinatorial concrete structures like matrices, linear operators and quivers. It is a very active and dynamic area, both heavily influenced by important applications to algebra, combinatorics, geometry, topology, analysis, category theory, number theory, mathematical physics and other branches of mathematics and physics.

One of the fascinating bridges between  classical  mechanics  and quantum physics  is expressed  in the fact that the length spectrum  and the Laplace  spectrum  of a closed Riemannian  manifold determine  each other (at least generically). The main goal of this school  is to introduce  graduate  students  and young  researchers to basic facts on these two spectra, and to the above correspondence.

The main theme of the proposed school are graph algebras, which are objects of growing interest that lie at the boundary between algebra and analysis among other mathematical fields. Despite being introduced only about a decade ago, Leavitt path algebras, as algebraic counterpart of graph C ∗ -algebras, have arisen in a variety of different contexts as diverse as symbolic dynamics, noncommutative geometry, representation theory, and number theory.
