Masterclass on

Classification Problems in Groups and Fusion Systems

June 10-14, 2013

Content:

• One series of lectures by Michael Aschbacher on "2-fusion systems of component type". An abstract and background references are available here. The lecture notes can be found here.
• One series of lectures by Ulrich Meierfrankenfeld on "Finite groups of local characteristic p".
• A lecture by Andrew Chermak on "The generalized Fitting subsystem of a linking system".

The lectures will be supplemented by exercise sessions. A tentative schedule is available here.

Venue: Centre for Symmetry and Deformation, KU. For information how to get to the Department of Mathematical Sciences click here.

Registration: If you would like to participate please fill out our registration form until May 15, 2013.

Accommodation: Participants are asked to book their own accommodation. We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are CabInn that has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandivania (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive - and still recommended - options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.

Funding: We have a limited amount of funding available. Participants can expect to get up to 2500 DKK. To apply, please send an email to henke@math.ku.dk with a short research description or a link to a personal webpage providing information about your research. The deadline for application is May 1, 2013.
