Workshop on computational invariant theory of permutation groups and applications


Wednesday 13th - Friday 15th June 2001
Station Biologique de l'ENS, 1, rue Château
Foljuif (south-east of Paris), FRANCE

Organizer: Nicolas M. Thiéry - LAPCS, Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, France

With support from the: Laboratoire de Probabilité, Combinatoire et Statistiques

Scope

The invariant theory of permutation groups has potential applications in many different areas (discrete mathematics, Galois theory, differential equations, algebra, quantum mechanics, ...). However, the computations involved are very hard, and the applicability of this theory will be greatly conditioned in the future by the existence of efficient software. Theory and practice are particularly intermixed here, since the computation of non trivial examples can help in the understanding of the structure of those invariant rings, which in turn can yield better algorithms.

The goal was to gather researchers in connected areas to help define the needs and the problems and bring up exciting collaborations, especially around software development.

Topics

Specific topics included but were not limited to:

Program

The workshop consisted of lectures, short communications by the participants on their recent research, software demonstrations, and problem sessions. Plenty of time was reserved for informal discussions, and the workshop continued informally over the week-end.
