Report by Claude Cibils

Representation Theory of Lie algebras and Group Theory will be the topics of the Research School Algebraic Representation Theory 2015.

Recent research trends including :

• interactions between finite groups and infinite dimensional Lie algebras,
• connections between quantum groups and knot theory

will be at the hearth of the research school. The basic material will be provided
in 6 mini-courses, and 14 one-hour advanced lectures will provide
related and more advanced materials. All mini-courses and talks will be in English,
but some of the minicourse lecturers fluently speak Portuguese, French and German.
