Overview
The program will start in January with an intensive introductory
course on algebraic groups, see below for more details. The introductory
course will be followed by two concentration periods:
I. Applications of torsors to infinite dimensional Lie theory;
II. Torsors, motives and cohomological invariants aligned with the main
themes of the program. Each period will feature several mini-courses
and lecture series aimed at young researchers and students. At the end
of each period we plan to have a mini-workshop with more specialized
talks.
We plan to organize two seminar series, one more traditional with invited
speakers (established researchers and postdocs) and a second one in
the form of learning seminars aimed at graduate students and young researchers.
At the end of the program (June 9-15, 2013) we plan to have a conference
summarizing the activity of the semester.

Seminars
Seminars are important occasions for participants and short-term visitors
to meet and exchange ideas. There will be two types of seminars, a more
traditional seminar for established researchers and a second one for young
researchers and participating students.
The first seminar series will feature short-term visitors and participating
postdoctoral fellows and will present finished research. Program
Postdoctoral Seminars
The second seminar will be rather informal. Its aim is to provide young
researchers a forum to discuss their ongoing research, or to learn together
some more advanced topics.
Postdoctoral Fellows
The
Thematic Program on Torsors, Nonassociative Algebras
and Cohomological Invariants is pleased
to welcome the following Postdoctoral Fellows to the Program
| Fields Postdoctoral Fellows |
|
Jeremy Jacobson, PhD (Louisiana State University 2012)
Ting-Yu Lee, PhD (Universite Paris 6, 2012)
Anastasia Stavrova, PhD (St. Petersburg State University, 2009) |
Wanshun Wong, PhD (UCLA. 2012)

Program Visitors
All scientific events are open to the mathematical sciences community. Additional
support may be available to support junior US visitors to this program. Fields
scientific programs are devoted to research in the mathematical sciences,
and enhanced graduate and post-doctoral training opportunities. Part of the
mandate of the Institute is to broaden and enlarge the community, and to encourage
the participation of women and members of visible minority groups in our scientific
programs.
