NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences: Hodge Theory, Complex Geometry, and Representation Theory
Month: June 2012
Date: June 18--22
Name: NSF/CBMS Regional Conference in the Mathematical Sciences: Hodge Theory, Complex Geometry, and Representation Theory
Location: Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas.
Description
This is a CBMS Conference featuring Phillip Griffiths (Institute for Advanced Study) as principal speaker. Prof. Griffiths will describe recent progress on automorphic cohomology beyond the classical cases. The material involved is at the confluence of several parts of mathematics: Hodge theory, representation theory, and complex geometry. The main lectures will describe new breakthroughs due to Carayol and others and will build upon the recent work of Griffiths and his collaborators on Mumford-Tate groups and domains. The lectures will focus on two main examples and are intended to be accessible to a wide range of participants. The conference will also feature several other speakers, including a series of introductory talks aimed at graduate students.
