Algebraic groups, their friends and relations. In honour of Nikolai Vavilov, on occasion of his 70 birthday (September 19–23, 2022, St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Mathematical Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersbutrg)
The goal of the conference AGFR is to discuss recent progress in the structure theory of linear algebraic groups with applications to related problems of representation theory, finite group theory, asymptotic group theory, word maps, Kac-Moody theory, theory of Chevalley groups and the like. These subjects reflect the wide range of interests of Professor Nikolai Vavilov, and the main objective of the meeting is to study current developments in this broad area and to outline the new perspectives of the scientific collaboration.
We plan five working days, each day containing plenary talks and a limited number of contributed talks.
