Graded Algebras and Superalgebras (2008)
InternationalWorkshop
Graded Algebras and
Superalgebras
August 29 - September 2,
2008
Memorial University of
Newfoundland
The main aim of the workshop was to discuss
recent achievements in the entitled areas. Graded rings and
algebras naturally arise in many researches in Mathematics and
Physics. In the case of superalgebras gradings are
“built-in” into the very definition of these important
mathematical objects. We will be interested in the structure and
representation of graded algebras and superalgebras and, broadly
speaking, in any problems involving such algebras.
The organizational work was done by the AAC
Coordinator Dr Yuri Bahturin, Drs Mikhail Kochetov, Mike Parmenter,
and Yiqiang Zhou, with the help of Ph D student Jason McGraw and
USRA student Andrew Stewart. As usual, our thanks go to the
administration and the staff of Memorial University of Newfoundland
and its Department of Mathematics and Statistics, with special
emphasis of the role of our administrative staff specialist, Ms Ros
English.
The total number of participants was 25, from
10 different countries. The two-lecture series were delivered by
prominent people in the area of Graded Algebras and Superalgebras:
Georgia Benkart (University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA), Vesselin
Drensky (Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), Dimitry Leites (University
of Stockholm, Sweden) and Ivan Shestakov (University of Sao Paulo,
Brazil). Additional talks, mostly 1-hour, but some 40-minutes, in
total 13, were given by Eddy Campbell and Jianjun Chuai (Memorial
University), Deanna Caveney (College of Charleston, USA), Cristina
Draper (University of Malaga, Spain), Alberto Elduque (University
of Zaragoza, Spain), Mikhail Kochetov (Memorial University), Plamen
Koshlukov (University of Campinas, Brazil), Jason McGraw (Memorial
University), Vincenzo Nardozza (University of Bari, Italy), Michael
Natapov (Indiana University - Bloomington, USA), Erhard Neher
(University of Ottawa), Oleg Smirnov (College of Charleston, USA),
Marina Tvalavadze (University of Saskatchewan), and Yoji Yoshii
(Akita National College of Technology, Japan).
