Équipe RGR
The RGR team is part of the Arithmetic, Geometry, Logic and Representations (AGLR) scientific group.
Topics include Lie groups, Poisson-Lie groups, reductive groups, automorphic forms, infinite-dimensional groups and representations. Around the above themes, participants meet regularly in working groups that also call on outside speakers(RGR seminar, organized by Volker Heiermann).
The other themes come from the former “Operator Algebras and Geometry” (AOG) team:
Topics include operator algebras and representation theory, and their links with topology, geometry, probability, ergodic theory, number theory and theoretical physics. Note that operator algebras = von Neumann algebras + K-theory + cyclic cohomology, the non-commutative versions of measure theory, topology and differential geometry.
