Workshop Announcement: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Cluster algebras and braid varieties ---------------------------------------------------------------- January 23 to January 27, 2023 American Institute of Mathematics Research Conference Center San Jose, California http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/clusterbraid ------------ Description: ------------ This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to the study of cluster algebras and their relation to symplectic geometry, bringing together people with expertise in these two fields. In particular, the workshop will feature the study of braid varieties and Legendrian weaves, which lie at the intersection of many facets of symplectic geometry where cluster algebras have appeared. The workshop is organized by Roger Casals, Mikhail Gorsky, Melissa Sherman-Bennett, and Jose Simental. For more details please see the workshop announcement page: http://aimath.org/workshops/upcoming/clusterbraid Space and funding is available for a few more participants. If you would like to participate, please apply by filling out the on-line form (available at the link above) no later than August 23, 2022. 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.
