Participant Testimonials
BIRS is the great place to talk to people and discuss mathematics. During last workshop I talked a lot with Philippe Gille (Lyon, France) on the connection of central simple algebras of degree 5 and groups of type E_8. At the end we decided to start a new joint project about this topic and we hope very much that our collaboration will be productive.
