General Information

The workshops "Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations" meet at various western United States campuses for one weekend every few months during the academic year. They are supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

The purpose of the program is to communicate results and ideas rather than to deliver polished presentations. The program also serves to acquaint graduate students in this area with a range of researchers in Lie theory and representation theory.

There is no registration fee. Support for non-local graduate students is available, and graduate students are encouraged to attend. Contact the local organizers, Gestur Olafsson (olafsson@math.lsu.edu) and Milen Yakimov (yakimov@math.lsu.edu) regarding support.

Location

The conference will take place in Lockett Hall on LSU campus. This is where the the Department of Mathematics is located. A campus map can be found at http://campusmap.lsu.edu/. For parking, please stop by the visitor center at the corner of Highland Road and Dalrymple Drive to pick up a parking permit. Note, there is no visitor parking close to the Department, so you still would have to walk! Please let us know soon if you need a parking permit.

Conference Dinner

There will be a conference dinner on Saturday evening at 7 pm. The dinner will take place at Bayleaf (Indian cuisine). The restaurant is located at 5160 S. Sherwood Forest Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70816.

Hotel

A conference hotel rate has been negotiated at the Staybridge Suites, 4001 Nicholson Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808, phone: (225)456-5430, rate $93 + tax for a double room, including continental breakfast. To obtain this rate, mention the code "Math Workshop". This hotel is within walking distance, approximately 30 minutes.

You can also login using here. If you have problems using this link, please contact Renee Bergner or contact the hotel.

Travel

The nearest airport is BTR (Baton Rouge). It is about 15-20 min drive from the hotel. But you can also look at New Orleans which is just over a 1 hour drive. In that case you would have to organize a transport from New Orleans and back.
