Symmetries: Algebras and Physics: May-December 2022

This Thematic Semester focuses on the advances in Algebras, Representation Theory and certain areas of Physics and Quantum Information. Special functions will intervene at times as links between topics. It will consist in six 1-month concentration periods devoted to ongoing research in cutting edge topics; each will involve 1- or 2-week workshops that will be preceded by a number of preparatory mini-courses. While each period will have its own personality, there will be threads throughout the semester which should make the whole program tight, stimulating, and exciting. The thematic semester will include the organization of the SIAM-sponsored international conference Orthogonal Polynomials, Special Functions and Applications (OPSFA)
