A workshop on (partial) representations and related topics
Register NowThis second ANTIPODE workshop aims at being an occasion to gather together international experts and young researchers in the theory of partial actions and representations as well as in related topics such as inverse semigroups, groupoids, Hecke algebras.
Partial (co)representations arose in the 90s in the form of partial group actions within the theory of operator algebras, as an approach to C*-algebras generated by partial isometries. In fact, they have been introduced by Exel as a tool to describe certain C*-algebras as a generalized type of semi-direct product.
Soon, the study of partial actions and representations became an independent topic of interest in algebra and ring theory and nowadays partial actions and partial representations of groups (and more generally of Hopf algebras) are studied from a pure algebraic point of view.
This workshop will provide a forum to discuss and to learn about the most recent developments in this theory.
The full list of speakers will be released closer to the event.

By plane - Brussels has two international airports: Brussels Zaventem (BRU) and Brussels South Charleroi (CRL).
Brussels Zaventem is well-connected to the city by train and by bus. From Brussels Charleroi there are numerous Flibco Shuttle buses leading directly to Bruxelles-Midi or trains from Charleroi city to Bruxelles Central and Midi.
By train - Brussels has many train stations. The main ones are Bruxelles-Midi (which is reached by high-speed trains such as Eurostars or TGVs) and Bruxelles-Central.
From Bruxelles-Central one can
Usually the easiest way to move is by Metro, but also buses and trams are not to be neglected. Please, check the webpage of STIB-MIVB or Google Maps.
Campus La Plaine is reached by Metro Line number 5 and Bus number 71.
As there are very few hotels close to the campus, we suggest to choose an hotel closer to the city center. For invited speakers, hotel arrangements have been taken care by the organization. For contributed speakers and all other participants, hotel arrangements have to be made by yourselves. Here is a short list of possible alternatives.
