Workshop
“McKay correspondence, orbifolds, quivers”
Mon 15th - Fri 19th September 2014, University of Warwick
The workshop aims to highlight a currently thriving area of research,
including its links with representation theory, dimer models and
symplectic geometry, and to map out new directions of research, such
as derived geometry applied to the case of GL(3), SL(4) and higher
dimensions.
Scope: Derived category techniques linking orbifold geometry,
quiver representations, dimer models, etc. The derived category
of a Deligne–Mumford stack and the McKay correspondence. Quiver
varieties. Dimer models. Mutations. Bipartite field theories.
