Visitors to IPM

Farzad Fathizadeh from York University, Canada (July 11-31, 2011) and Kursat Aker from Feza Gursey Institute, Turkey (July 15-31, 2011) will be guests at IPM. They are invited by the NCG program here to give a series of lectures on NCG at IPM.

Lie Algebra Represenations by Examples

Kursat Aker
Feza Gursey Institute, Turkey

Abstract: In these lectures, we will introduce basics of Lie algebra representations in small rank examples, sl(2) and sl(3), type A1 and A2 respectively.

Lectures will cover such basics as highest weight theory, various dimension formulas, and character formulas.
If time permits, we will also discuss other small rank examples of type B2 and G2 as well as a more combinatorial approach to characters using the Lenart-Postnikov alcove model.
 

Date: Saturday July 23, 2011 and Sunday July 24, 2011
Time: 14:00 - 15:00

Seminar on NCG

Amenability for Locally Compact Groups and Banach Algebras
Mahdi Rostami
 

Time: Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 12:00

 

Introduction to Cyclic Cohomology 1
Masoud Khalkhali
University of Western Ontario, Canada

Abstract:
Cyclic cohomology is the noncommutative analogue of de Rham homology and as such plays a fundamental role in noncommutative geometry and its applications. In these series of lectures  I shall give a rather detailed exposition of cyclic cohomology with a view towards main examples, calculations, and applications. The lectures will be self contained and no prior knowledge of cyclic cohomology or noncommutative geometry  will be assumed.

Time: Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 16:00
