Semigroup Representations 2013

 10 - 12 Apr 2013

ICMS, 15 South College Street Edinburgh

Scientific Organiser:

  • Mark Lawson, Herriot-Watt University

About:

Two classes of representations formed the core of this workshop: those emerging from linear representations and their generalisations, and those involving inverse semigroups and their interactions with C*-algebras.
