School on modern aspects of the geometry and applications of Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids
This school will contain three mini-courses, aiming to introduce some modern advances of the theory of Lie groupoids, Lie algebroids, and their applications. The goal is to have a leisurely schedule, allowing plenty of time for informal discussions.
It is geared toward PhD students, and other researchers interested in the topic, but previous exposure to Lie groupoids will not be assumed.
The first day will contain either a small crash-course on Lie groupoids and Lie algebroids, or an open discussion with the participants, to introduce some definitions, examples, and ideas used in the other courses.
Mini-courses
- Karandeep Singh: Deformations, rigidity and stability through differential graded Lie algebras.
- Maarten Mol: Topics revolving around Hamiltonian groupoid actions.
- Rui Loja Fernandes: Multiplicative Ehresmann connections.
Location
