From: "Joseph A. Wolf" To: LieTheoryWorkshop@Math.Berkeley.EDU Subject: Final Announcement - Jan 17-18 Berkeley Lie Theory Workshop THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations University of California, Berkeley, January 17-18, 2004 The second 2003/2004 workshop in the program Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and Their Representations will take place on the Berkeley campus of the University of California on January 17 and 18, 2004. This workshop is cosponsored by the National Science Foundation and by the Department of Mathematics at UC Berkeley. There is no registration or participation fee for these workshops. These workshops meet at various University of California campuses (or occasionally at other universities in the western United States) for one weekend every few months during the academic year. The purpose of the program is to communicate results and ideas rather than to deliver polished presentations. The program also serves to acquaint graduate students in this area with a range of researchers in Lie theory and representation theory. Support for non-local graduate students is available, and graduate students are strongly encouraged to attend. If you are an interested graduate student, please send e-mail to Joseph Wolf at jawolf@math.berkeley.edu, and ask your advisor to do the same. If you wish to suggest one or more of your graduate students, please e-mail a nomination, including the e-mail address for each of the students that you nominate. The talks will take place in 1015 Evans Hall on the U. C. Berkeley campus. Because of security procedures it is not completely straightforward to enter Evans Hall on weekends. You should enter at the southwest corner (the corner nearest to the Campanile bell tower); that entrance is on the west side of the building at level G. Then jog left, past the junk food vending machines, and go to the bank of three elevators. Rondi Phillips or her assistant will meet you there and get you onto an elevator that goes to the 10th floor. Here is the scientific program. ======================================================================== Saturday, January 17, 2004 speaker and title Sat 10:00 (Coffee etc.) Sat 11:00 Milen Yakimov, U.

Many hotels, for example the Durant, will give you a reduced rate if you mention that you are at a University of California conference. Street parking is available Saturdays and Sundays on the north side of the Berkeley campus. One algorithm: drive north on Euclid from Hearst (Hearst is the north edge of the campus) for one to four blocks, turn left, park. ======================================================================== Corrections/additions/suggestions for the e-mail announcement list should be sent to jawolf@math.berkeley.edu .
