Overview:

The Langlands programme dominates the representation theory of linear algebraic groups over local and global fields. The theme of this workshop is the exploration of some of the geometric ideas appearing in recent advances in the Langlands programme, with an emphasis on results which apply to both function fields and number fields.

The mini-course structure of this workshop is ideal for both graduate students and researchers interested in an in-depth study of new developments in the field.

This workshop is the third in a series, following a pair of very successful Fields Workshops held at the University of Ottawa over the past few years. The first was the five-day Fields Institute Workshop on the Representation Theory of p-adic Groups was held at the University of Ottawa in May 2004, which attracted over fifty participants from all over North America and Europe. In those five days, the workshop had offered three mini-courses as well as a weekend conference. The second was the four-day Fields Institute Workshop on the Representation Theory of Reductive Algebraic Groups in January 2007, which despite its wintery time slot attracted about forty participants, many of them graduate students, from around the world. The four days featured three mini-courses, together with eight hour-long research talks. Notes based on the mini-courses of these two workshops are soon to be published as "Ottawa Lectures on Admissible Representations of Reductive p-adic Groups" under the Fields Institute Monograph series.

Please send expressions of interest to Monica Nevins (mnevins@uottawa.ca) or Clifton Cunningham (cunning@math.ucalgary.ca)

Graduate students and new Ph.D.'s are especially encouraged to attend; some funding for travel expenses will be available.

The weather in Ottawa in May is absolutely lovely.

Financial Support:

Funding support is available for graduate students and new Ph.D.s to partially cover local expenses and travel. Some funding will also be available to speakers depending on budget constraints. Application deadline was April 1, 2009.

Registration:

There is no registration fee; participants are, however, encouraged to register early to facilitate room and catering reservations, to ensure the receipt of all emailed conference updates, and to help students identify potential roommates.
