Stanford Representation Theory Seminar

Stanford University Representation Theory Seminar '06-'07

Time: Tuesdays, 4-5 p.m.
Location: Room 381-T, First Floor, Math Building (Bldg. 380)
(Tea served from 3:30 - 4:00 in the second floor lounge of the math dept.)


The seminar is jointly organized Dan Bump and Nat Thiem. For more information contact us at thiem@math.stanford.edu.

This seminar covers topics ranging from arithmetic applications of automorphic forms and automorphic representations to the combinatorics of representation theory and of Lie type.

This Winter quarter, Dan Bump and Nat Thiem will be giving a series of lectures on Hecke algebras. The lectures should be for the most part self-contained (perhaps in pairs or triples), and should cover a variety of Hecke algebras defined over finite fields and local fields.

Further information about upcoming seminars and people in the math department can be found at the Stanford Math Department Home Page.
