Summary
This weeklong online research workshop will explore open research questions related to Hopf rings, develop research teams to work on these questions, give young researchers collaborative opportunities, and facilitate conversations between teams and experts.

Experts will present research problems during the first hour of each day. Participants will then select a list of problems to work on that day. The remaining two hours will be spent working in groups on the selected problems. Participants are free to choose to work on any of the selected problems.

A preliminary list of problems will be posted before the start of the workshop. If you have a problem you would like to see added to the list, please contact Sarah Petersen at sarahllpetersen@gmail.com

The primary goals of the workshop are that participants engage actively, learn about Hopf rings, learn research techniques, and make connections with other mathematicians. A desired, but not required, outcome is that participants continue to work in teams towards research publications after the workshop concludes.

Participant Expectations
Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers are expected to attend and participate in the entire workshop. More established researchers are welcome to select specific days and hours that they would like to attend. Optionally, participants may continue to work in teams after the workshop concludes.

Prerequisites
Here is a list of papers and exercises. It is recommended to skim most of the papers and work through at least some of the exercises before the workshop. Participants in the Winter 2024 reading seminar on Hopf rings are probably adequately prepared.

Application
Apply here by May 24. We will respond to applicants by May 31. Each graduate student should arrange to have a letter of recommendation sent by their academic advisor to Dan Isaksen at isaksen@wayne.edu.

Contact Dan Isaksen for inquiries about applications.

Organizers
The workshop will be led by Sarah Petersen.

Schedule
The workshop will take place on June 24-28, 2024 at 11:00am-2:00pm (eastern time).
