Exterior Differential Systems and Lie Theory
Date: 9 - 13 December 2013
Location: Fields Institute
Event type: Workshop
Organisers: Rui L. Fernandes (UIUC), Niky Kamra (McGill), Peter J. Olver (Minnesota)
This workshop will bring together mathematicians working in two different, but related, fields: Exterior Differential Systems and Cartan’s Equivalence Method on the one hand and Lie theory (especially Lie pseudo-groups and Lie groupoids/algebroids) on the other. Not only there have been some very exciting advances in these subjects recently, but also it has became clear in the last few years that these areas are intimately connected. Hence, given the current interest by different groups of people and different viewpoints, there is a need for a focused workshop which can bring together the top researchers, promising young researchers, and students in these very active fields.
