Representations of Braid and Symmetric Groups
New Approaches

WIMCS Mathematical Physics Cluster Workshop

Aberystwyth, 2nd to 3rd May 2011



This workshop brings together experts from the representation theory of groups, operator algebras and noncommutative probability. Its aim is to explore possible new connections between these areas emerging from new approaches to the representation theory of braid and symmetric groups, including their combinatorial aspects.
