Topic and idea:

 

In this workshop we want to learn about the PBW filtrations of modules for Lie algebras and their appearance/applications in Representation Theory. During the last years, several publications were pushing this new and very active field very far. The workshop intends to give PhD-students and Early-Postdocs the chance to learn this subject (while it is new and exciting) and possibly contribute to the current research. Some knowledge about representations of Lie algebras may be prerequested.

The workshop is organized as a seminar week:  each participant will be given a topic within the area of PBW filtrations and will explain this topic to the other participants in a seminar talk. The topics will be distributed well in advance (end of March), so everyone will have enough time to prepare. Participants may work of course prepare in groups.

There are further problem-sessions and new-direction-session.

At the end of the workshop, participants will be in touch with the state of art.
