FINAL FINAL ANNOUNCEMENT

              Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations
          University of California, Santa Cruz, April 26-27, 2008

The Spring 2008 workshop in the program Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and
Their Representations will take place on the campus of the University of
California, Santa Cruz, April 26 and 27, 2008.

Geoff. Mason (gem@cats.ucsc.edu) is the local organizer.

The workshops "Lie Groups, Lie Algebras and their Representations" meet
at various western United States campuses for one weekend every few months
during the academic year. The Workshop is supported by a grant from
the National Science Foundation.

The purpose of the program is to communicate results and ideas rather
than to deliver polished presentations.  The program also serves to acquaint
graduate students in this area with a range of researchers in Lie theory
and representation theory.

There is no registration fee. Limited support for non-local graduate
students and postdocs  is available, and graduate students are
encouraged to attend. Contact the local organizer regarding support.

Parking and other information:
====================
Parking is free on campus over the weekend. There is a parking lot behind the Baskin Engineering Building, and a parking structure across the street.

There will be a dinner Saturday evening at a local Chinese
restaurant, followed by a reception at Geoff Mason's house.

Lodging information:
====================
There are many hotels in the Santa Cruz Area. Early reservations are
advised. One suggesting is Ocean Pacific Lodge, which is a block or
two from the beach, wharf and boardwalk.
