General description

 The School is mainly aimed to Phd students and young researchers in Algebraic Geometry. The main goal of this School is twofold. On one hand we wish to introduce young mathematicians and young researchers from the applied world to the subject and to provide them with the most important technical tools to tackle applied problems from a mathematical insight. On the other hand we wish to provide a stimulating intellectual environment where students can get personally in touch with the most prominent researchers in the field.

The main features that are intended to address are the following:

·   To introduce problems arising from applications (blind identification in signal processing and spectroscopy, complexity of matrix multiplication, complexity problems of P versus NP, entanglement, and phylogenetic invariants).

·   To explain the “dictionary” that allows one to translate these applied problems into classical algebraic geometry language.

·   To cover the basic geometry and representation theory necessary to study these problems.

·   To discuss open questions from the relevant areas that we believe could be solved by the School participants.

Logistic Information

The school will take place at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (address: Via Sommarive 18, Povo, 38123 Trento, Italy).  The school will start on Monday, July 14th at 9:00 and it will end on Friday, July 18th at 18:00.

A number of rooms have been reserved in some hotels (****), (***), (**) in Trento downtown for the school’s participants. The fares are especially low thanks to an agreement between FBK-Cirm and the single hotels. The school’s secretary will help all participants with the hotel info and bookings.
