About:
This workshop was in association with the programme on Algebraic Lie Theory at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences. The conference clarified the notion of categorification and its appearance in three different areas of mathematics: algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry and representation theory. This workshop brought together the international figures working on categorification with connections to representation theory, providing the possibility for people from different fields to meet.
