CMO/Banff Workshop — Silting in Representation Theory, Singularities, and Noncommutative Geometry

The proposed Workshop aims to study bridges between representations of algebras on one side and algebraic geometry and singularity theory on the other. One such bridge is provided by a process called `silting', allowing for example the transfer of combinatorial or homological structure in either direction. It is expected that the joint efforts of a group of internationally leading experts from many different areas of mathematics is yielding new insight in the difficult nature of these objects of study.
