About the Workshop:   This workshop is part of a series of annual meetings held in the British midlands and sponsored by the London Mathematical Society. Webpages for the past five workshops can be viewed through the following links: 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001.

This year's workshop will explore connections recently emerging between cluster algebras and the theory of decorated Teichmüller spaces and related moduli spaces. Among topics that may be examined are:

• The topological significance of the Laurent phenomenon for Teichmüller spaces.
• The relationship between the Kashaev quantization of the decorated Teichmüller space and the Berenstein-Zelevinsky quantization of cluster algebras.
• Functional dilogarithm identities for Y-systems and their significance for both cluster algebras and higher Teichmüller theory.

Confirmed Speakers:   P. Caldero (Lyon), F. Chapoton (Lyon), L. Chekhov (Moscow), V. Fock (Moscow), S. Fomin (Ann Arbor), L. Funar (Grenoble), W. Harvey (London), R. Marsh (Leicester), R. Penner (Los Angeles), M. Shapiro (Lansing), A. Szenes (Budapest), D. Thurston (New York), A. Usnich (Paris), A. Zelevinsky (Boston).

Programme   and   Abstracts

Computer facilities:   Participants will be able to use basic computer facilities for email access via internet. The computer room KE 103 (Ken Edwards Building, First Floor) will be reserved for participants every day from Monday to Thursday for the time of 10:30-18:30. Login and password will be annouced during the meeting.

Registration:   There will be a workshop registration fee of 25.00 pounds to be paid upon arrival. Invited speakers and research students will be exempt from paying. Those interested in attending should notify one of the following conference organizers by e-mail:

Funding:  We expect that our workshop funds will allow us to subsidize some travel and lodging costs for our student participants. For this reason please indicate in your e-mail notification whether or not you are a student and the name of your home institution.

Accommodation:   All participants, other than invited speakers, should arrange accomodation on their own. Here is a list of hotels close to the University of Leicester campus.

Lunch:   There are no specific arrangements for lunch of participants. There are several possibilities for having lunch on campus, for example in the Charles Wilson Building on the 5th floor as well as in Cafe Piazza on the ground floor. There are also several restaurants on London Road.

Directions to Leicester:   Maps and Transport.
