The Bellairs Workshop in Number Theory
Borcherds
products and their applications to arithmetic geometry
May 3-10, 2009
Speaker: Jan Bruinier (Technische Universitat
Organizer: Eyal
Goren (
The workshop is dedicated to Borcherds' theory concerning a singular theta lift
from weakly holomorphic elliptic modular forms to automorphic forms on
orthogonal groups which are forms of SO(2, n), and its applications and
generalizations. A series of lectures will be given by Jan Bruinier on this
topic, supplemented by lectures from attending experts, for a total of 20 hours
and many more hours of stimulating exchanges. The intention of the workshop is
to provide an access point to the field, assuming at least a background
comparable to advanced graduate students. Participation is by invitation only.

Program
The general schedule is morning lectures (2 hrs) by Bruinier and after dinner
lectures by participating experts (2hrs per day). The program is designed to
encourage discussion and new research initiatives by allowing enough free time
and having all the participants in the same residence. Click here

The Bellairs Research
Institute
Here is a link to the Institute's website.
It is located in St. James, which is just to the north of Holetown. The exact
location is
13.192104, -59.640130 (I think... you can plug these coordinates
in http://maps.google.ca)
Getting to Bellairs
Here you can find maps of
Barabados, as well as much information about tourism. The local airport is in
