Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted
to the representation theory of the type A Hecke algebras, their
categorifications and connections to the Hilbert scheme of points
and link invariants. 

The workshop is organized by
Eugene Gorsky, Andrei Negut, and Alexei Oblomkov.

out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later
than April 1, 2018. Applications are open to all, and
we especially encourage women, underrepresented minorities,
junior mathematicians, and researchers from primarily
undergraduate institutions to apply.

AIM Research Conference Center:
--------------------------------

The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. AIM
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
