  1. Linear Algebraic Groups Humphreys

This is a "meeting" of people working in Algebraic Groups. During these four days we will have lectures by experts. We aim to understand two seminal papers written by the masters of subject one by Borel & Siebenthal and other by Borel & Tits. These two papers are core to understanding the Classification of Algebraic Groups over arbitrary field.

We will have plenty of time to discuss Mathematics among ourselves.

Following people have agreed to participate in this meeting.

    1. Prof. M. S. Raghunathan (TIFR, Mumbai)

    2. Prof. D. Prasad (TIFR, Mumbai)

    3. Prof. M Thakur (ISI, Delhi)

    4. Prof. A. Kulshrestha (IISER, Mohali)

    5. Prof. S. M. Garge (IIT, Mumbai)

    6. Prof. E. Wambach (IIT, Mumbai)

    7. Prof. Anandavardhanan (IIT, Mumbai)

    8. Dr. V. Patankar (Microsoft Research, Bangalore)
