Minimal representations of real or p-adic Lie groups are analogs of the classical Weil representations of metaplectic groups. The theta correspondence studies the branching laws when minimal representations are restricted to a pair of mutually commuting subgroups. This transcendental version of classical invariant theory has seen significant progress in the past few years with several foundational problems resolved and has found applications in the theory of automorphic forms, arithmetic geometry and mathematical physics. In this workshop we will explore new avenues of research in view of these recent progresses.

Gordan Savin has done pioneering work in the theory of minimal representations and the theta correspondence, both in the classical and exceptional settings. This workshop is in honor of his 60th birthday.

The workshops will be held in hybrid mode with the platform zoom. zoom coordinates will be provided to the participants by email shortly before the beginning of the event
