Objectives

Hilbert schemes of points are a traditional field of interest for algebraic geometers. Work by Nakajima and others established a relation between their geometry and the representation theory of Heisenberg-Clifford algebras. More recent research connected Hilbert schemes with other infinite-dimensional algebras, such as Cherednik algebras, quantum Heisenberg algebras, Kac-Moody algebras, and so on. This conference aims at providing an updated survey of the state of the art in this area of research in its various aspects.

Topics will include

categorification of the (quantized) Heisenberg algebra

Cherednik algebras, W-algebras

Ding-Iohara algebras, shuffle algebras

moduli spaces of instantons and framed sheaves

instanton counting, Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa conjecture

instanton counting with surfaces operators, moduli spaces of parabolic framed sheaves on Laumon spaces

moduli spaces of quiver representations, wall-crossing formulas
