DESCRIPTION:Organisers\nCharles Eaton (University of Manchester)\nMichael 
 Livesey (University of Manchester)\nThe central theme of this workshop is 
 the determination and description of the Morita equivalence classes of blo
 cks of finite groups. Related to this are for example the study of derived
  equivalences\, source algebras and the determination of other invariants 
 of a block\, as well as the study of algebras which arise as basic algebra
 s for blocks.\nIncreasingly the classification of finite simple groups pla
 ys a major role\, and recent advances in our understanding of the blocks o
 f finite groups of Lie type are particularly important.\nThe core of the w
 orkshop will be five short lecture series on some of the main tools and pr
 oblems\, including blocks of finite groups of Lie type in non-defining cha
 racteristic\, basic algebras and their computation\, Galois conjugacy of b
 locks\, source algebras\, and determination of block invariants.\nThe lect
 ure series will be given by:\nMarc Cabanes\, Université Paris Diderot\nJo
 n Carlson\, University of Georgia\nRadha Kessar\, City University London\n
 Markus Linckelmann\, City University London\nBenjamin Sambale\, TU Kaisers
 lautern\nThe lecture series will be supplemented by a programme of invited
  and contributed conference talks and a discussion session.\nWe have a lim
 ited number of spaces for other speakers at the workshop. If you are inter
 ested in giving a talk related to the theme of the workshop\, then please 
 contact Michael Livesey at michael.livesey@manchester.ac.uk.
