The rapid development of the theory of representations of finite dimensional
associative algebras and related topics during the past three decades
shows no sign of abating and the dispersion of research centres all
over the world requires regular meetings in this field.
The purpose of these meetings is not only to exchange the latest result
in a rapidly developing area, but from the outset it has been a major
focus to bring together leading and well established experts with young
researchers who are just starting out and profit greatly from the possibilities
of exchange and contact provided and from workshops where recent advances
are presented in detailed exposition.
At the last International Conference on Representations of Algebras
(ICRA IX) in Beijing, the Scientific Advisory Committee agreed to hold
the next Conference (ICRA X) at the Fields Institute in Toronto. The
local Organizing Committee consists of:
S. Berman (U. of Saskatchewan )
Y. Billig (Carleton U.)
R.-O. Buchweitz (U. of Toronto)
V. Dlab (Carleton U.)
S. Liu (U. of Sherbrooke)
E. Neher (U. of Ottawa)

Should you wish to propose speakers and/or topics for either component
of this programme, please send email to icrax@fields.utoronto.ca
Housing
Please see the Fields Institute housing
resource page for listings of hotels, bed and breakfasts and on-campus
residences. University residences are available over the summer months
on the Campus at a rate of $40-50 CDN. Hotels in walking distance from
Fields charge typically between $95-$150 CDN per night. Participants
are advised to book accommodations early due to the large number of
activities in the summer.
Call for abstracts: (ABSTRACTS WILL NOT
BE ACCEPTED AFTER JUNE 15, 2002)
The program of ICRA X will consist of two types of lectures: 50-60 minute
invited addresses and 25-30 minute contributed talks (which may be scheduled
in parallel sessions). Although some of the invited speakers may have
been contacted already ahead of the meeting, the final schedule of the
Conference will be decided during the Instructional Workshop on basis
of the submitted abstracts. One-page abstracts, related to the topics
of the Conference, are to be submitted by June 15, 2002.
They should include: names(s) and affiliation(s) of author(s), as well
as the address, e-mail address, phone and fax numbers of the contact
person. In addition, each abstract should indicate a preferred length
of time for presentation. Authors are kindly requested to submit their
abstracts via the registration page in plain LaTeX (or plain AMS Tex).
Shortly after submission, every abstract will be made available at the
web site. A printed version of the abstracts will be included in a booklet
as part of the materials for the registered participants. All participants
are encouraged to send their comments on the abstracts, and in particular
to indicate those that, in their opinion, would merit a 50-60 minute
presentation.
Please bookmark this page as it will be updated frequently.
