WARTHOG
Workshop on Algebra and Representation Theory Held on Oregonian Grounds
WARTHOG is a workshop aimed at graduate students and postdocs, focused on a single paper or result in algebra, representation theory, or related fields. Through lectures and many exercises, the goal is to bring the attendees up to speed on this result, starting from a state of relative unfamiliarity. One person is chosen as the main speaker.
WARTHOG was founded and has been organized for many years by Nick Proudfoot. Support came from Nick's NSF CAREER grant. Starting in 2016, Ben Elias will take over as the organizer, and support will come from his NSF CAREER grant. Since 2023, support has come from an NSF RTG grant based at UO, DMS-2039316.
