Representation Theory – Current Trends and Perspectives

From April 2009 until March 2016, the German Science Foundation supported
generously the Priority Program SPP 1388 in Representation Theory. The core
principles of the projects realized in the framework of the priority program have been
categorification and geometrization, this is also reflected by the contributions to this
volume.
Apart from the articles by former postdocs supported by the priority program, the
volume contains a number of invited research and survey articles, many of them are
extended versions of talks given at the last joint meeting of the priority program in
Bad Honnef in March 2015. This volume is covering current research topics from the
representation theory of finite groups, of algebraic groups, of Lie superalgebras, of
finite dimensional algebras and of infinite dimensional Lie groups.
Graduate students and researchers in mathematics interested in representation
theory will find this volume inspiring. It contains many stimulating contributions to
the development of this broad and extremely diverse subject.
