Darstellungstheorietage 2025

GRK 2240:
Algebro-geometric Methods in Algebra, Arithmetic and Topology

University of Düsseldorf, 13-14 November 2025


Speakers & Talks



You can find the abstracts here and also slides for some of the talks: (i) slides for Abdellatif's first talk, (ii) sildes for Eaton's talk, (iii) slides for Turek's talk.

Schedule

The event starts on Thursday, 13 November, at 2pm and ends on Friday, 14 November, around 1.15pm; see below for a detailed schedule.
Traditionally, a joint dinner takes place on Thursday evening. We reserved tables in Cafe Weise an der Uni, a pub style restaurant at the northern end of the campus and about 20 min walking distance from the Mathematical Institute. They offer a range of drinks and foods, including some vegetarian options. Due to the large number of participants we reserved additional tables at Sen Vegan Cuisine, nearby. The problem of splitting into two groups of suitable size will be resolved on the day.

The programme is as follows. We will be within the joint building complex 25.22 and 25.11 at the southern end of the campus. Registration and the coffee/tea breaks will be in Room 25.22.00.53. The talks take place in lecture hall 5C on Thursday and in lecture hall 5E on Friday.
