The theme of this two week conference will be a survey of the state of the art in the use of cohomology and support in the study of representation theory, commutative algebra, triangulated categories, and various related topics. The first week will be a preparatory summer school intended for graduate students, recent doctoral recipients, or others new to the field to introduce the fundamental ideas. Three speakers will each present a series of four lectures. The second week of the conference will consist of talks on latest develoments in the field with ample time for discussion and collaboration.

Funding Opportunities:
Funding is available to partially support the attendance of graduate students and recent PhD recipients. Women and members of underrepresented ethnic minority groups are especially encouraged to apply. Persons affilliated with Canadian Institutions are also especially encouraged to apply as a portion of the conference support (from PIMS) is to be directed to such individuals.
To apply for funding, click here and complete the on-line form. In addition, the following must be sent to pischool@math.washington.edu:
- A personal statement (at most one page) on why you would benefit from participating.
- A recommendation letter from an adivsor/supervisor/mentor.
Deadline to Apply: March 19, 2012
- Application and additional materials must be received by the deadline.
