DESCRIPTION: A workshop on computational methods in group theory and
algebraic geometry, in the context of the Computer Algebra system Magma.
The meeting will be particularly concerned with exploring interactions
between computational group theory and computational algebraic geometry.
This is the fourth in a series of Magma conferences: the previous one
was held at Institute Henri Poincare', Paris, October 4 -- 8, 2004.

THEMES: Group theory, representation theory, Lie theory, algebraic
geometry, arithmetic geometry.

ACTIVITIES:
 * Lectures reporting recent advances in algorithmic methods.

 * Talks on significant applications of Magma to one of the
   thematic areas.

 * Talks on future directions for computational methods in
   the thematic areas.

 * Tutorials on the use of Magma in the following areas:
   - Finite groups and representation theory
   - Schemes and algebraic curves

CONTRIBUTED TALKS: Conference participants interested in giving a
25 minute contributed talk should submit a title and long abstract
by July 31.

CONFERENCE FUNDING: Some funding is available to provide limited travel
support for graduate students based in the UK.
