DESCRIPTION:Dates: 30 Nov - 04 Dec 2026\nOverview:\nDerived categories of 
 coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties were introduced by Grothendieck an
 d Verdier in the 1960s in order to formulate a relative version of Serre d
 uality for sheaf cohomology. In the 1990s\, the seminal work of Bondal and
  Orlov showed that derived categories are far more than abstract technical
  tools: they encode deep geometric information about algebraic varieties\,
  especially their birational geometry. In the course of this development\,
  many fundamental notions—such as exceptional collections\, mutations\, 
 semiorthogonal decompositions\, and Serre functors—were introduced and h
 ave since become central in the field.\nSince then\, derived categories ha
 ve become a major theme in modern algebraic geometry. They have also revea
 led remarkable connections with other areas\, including symplectic geometr
 y\, representation theory\, and mathematical physics. The subject continue
 s to develop rapidly and has had a profound influence on a wide range of m
 athematical disciplines.\nThis conference brings together experts in deriv
 ed categories\, algebraic geometry\, representation theory\, and related s
 ubjects to discuss recent developments in the field\, on the occasion of P
 rofessor Alexey Bondal’s 65th birthday.\nInvited Speakers:\n\n\nMatthew
