Summary
This project supports the conference “Representations of Finite Groups and Related Structures,” to be held from August 3 to August 6, 2026, at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The conference will bring together researchers at different career stages, including graduate students, early-career mathematicians, and established experts, to share ideas and foster collaboration. Representation theory plays a central role in modern mathematics and has connections to areas such as number theory, geometry, and mathematical physics. By supporting the participation of early career researchers and
