SMRI Special Semester Perspectives on Mathematics: Modern perspectives in representation
Theory Sydney Mathematical Research Institute Special Semester 

5 May – 13 June 2024 

Organisers: Charlotte Chan (University of Michigan), Thomas Lam (University of
Michigan), and Geordie Williamson (University of Sydney) 

A special semester on "Modern Perspectives in Representation Theory" at the Sydney
Mathematical Research Institute from May 5 through June 13, 2025.  As part of the
program, we are planning two workshops, in Week 3 May 19-23 and Week 5 June 2-6.  

The aim will be a focused program on several aspects of interest in representation
theory.  Focuses include: 

1.  Total positivity 

2.  Representation theory of p-adic groups and emerging geometric methods 

3.  Combinatorics of Coxeter groups and Kazhdan-Lutsztig theory
