Revision as of 00:03, 9 September 2015

This wiki contains information related to the ICERM fall 2015 special semester Computational Aspects of the Langlands Program, including announcements from the organizers, participants and the most up-to-date schedule for non-workshop weeks. For workshop weeks, please consult ICERM's official web pages: Sep 28-Oct 3, Oct 19-23, Nov 9-13.

For security reasons, one must log in to edit content; please contact one of the organizers for the communal login/password. (For help with wiki tables, read this.)

Contents

Announcements

  • Welcome to ICERM! If you want to beat the crowds on Wednesday, you can check in Tuesday (Sep 8) anytime between 9 AM and 5 PM.
  • There will be an AGNES (Algebraic Geometry Northeastern Series) conference October 2-4, immediately after the first thematic workshop. Those wishing to attend are asked to register here by September 8.

Participants

  • The list of long term participants with the projected dates for their visits is now available as pdf.

First week schedule

How to read this table: each row represents a 30-minute time block starting at the specified time, except for rows labeled in red which denote 15-minute blocks.
