Emmy Noether Lecture

Dear all,

here is a good piece of news! I am very happy to announce that at the
annual meeting of the DMV (the German Mathematical Society) this year,
Sept 15-19, there will be for the first time at a DMV meeting a special
Emmy Noether Lecture
which will be given by Karin Erdmann (University of Oxford).
Her talk is about “Representations of symmetric and general linear groups”
and thus closely related to Emmy Noether’s research.

It is very suitable to have it in 2008 in Erlangen as Emmy Noether was
born in Erlangen, and her PhD Thesis was published in 1908 (it was
submitted late in 1907, but the publication is dated 1908, as first
the oral exam had to be passed).

Here is the webpage for the DMV meeting in Erlangen in September where the
plenary talks are listed:
http://www.dmv2008.uni-erlangen.de/hauptvortraege.shtml
The Emmy Noether Lecture features very prominently on top of the list!
It is planned to take place on Monday.

From that webpage you’ll also easily find out all details about the
DMV meeting (unfortunately, it seems that they don’t yet have an
English version of the conference websites, as far as I could see).

I’d be happy to see many women mathematicians at the DMV meeting -
come in crowds to make the Emmy Noether Lecture a success so that the
DMV will keep this as a regular event at their meetings!

Best regards,
Christine Bessenrodt
