Workshop on Geometric Complexity Theory: Wrap Session and Discussion

This session has a talk by Jerzy Weyman on „Quiver Theory” followed by a talk by Ketan Mulmuley giving a brief sketch of the systematic GCT program to cross the GCT chasm (the subject of the two tutorials on the first two days of the workshop) along with a discussion on the broader issues in the context GCT (including the more philosophical issues concerning the basic strategy of GCT and also concerning possible alternatives to GCT or alternative approaches to GCT).

Workshop on Geometric Complexity Theory: Dealing with Orbit Closures in Representations with Finitely Many Orbits

In this talk I explain the techniques needed to deal with the orbit closures in representations with finitely many orbits. These representations were classified by Kac in 1980. The goals are to decide the normality and Cohen-Macaulay property of the orbit closure, the Hilbert function of the coordinate ring, the defining equations and even in some cases the free resolution of the polynomial ring.

Polish Mathematical Society Mini-Conference: Generic free resolutions and root systems

In this talk I give an explicit construction of the generic ring R_{gen} for finite free resolutions of length 3. The corresponding problem for resolutions of length 2 was solved in 1970’ies by Hochster and Huneke. The key role is played by the defect Lie algebra introduced in my old work on the subject. The defect Lie algebra turns out to be a parabolic Lie algebra in a Kac-Moody Lie algebra associated to the graph T_{p,q,r} corresponding to the format of the resolution. The ring R_{gen} is Noetherian if and only if the graph T_{p.q.r} is a Dynkin graph.
