The first three conferences were held in Shanghai (1998), Kunming (2001), and Chengdu (2004). The main goal of the ICRT is to bring together representation theorists of various subjects such as algebraic groups, quantum groups, finite groups, Lie algebras, vertex operator algebras, Hecke algebras and complex reflection groups, quivers, finite dimensional algebras, Hall algebras, and other related topics. The representation theory has evolved to connect many different fields of mathematics and the ICRT intends to communicate the common ideas and approaches to common questions. During the five day programs, participants have endured both mathematical and physical challenges. There was also a two day sub-conference on Mathematical History which covered many interesting historical topics such as early mathematics text books in Tibet and the first Chinese national who ever obtained formal Ph.D. in mathematics. This volume contains eighteen papers that more or less reflect the topics of the conference. All papers were carefully refereed. Several referees read several versions of the manuscripts and made critical comments to ensure the high quality of the papers. The editors want to express their sincere appreciation to all referees for their anonymous contribution. Due to page limitation, the editors regret that not all submitted papers are included and thank all authors for their contribution to this proceedings. It was a challenge from many respects to bring the conference to this ”high level”. The conference would not be possible without many people’s hardwork. Jianpan Wang and Hebing Rui had traveled to Lhasa several times to arrange hotel and lecture facilities. Both of them have been working for more than a year raising fund for the conference and making travel arrangements for international partic- ipants. Many participants took trains through the newly built railroad at 5 km altitude and the train ride lasts for more than two days. Making such arrangement was impossible without the help of many local mathematicians at various cities. The mathematicians in Tibet University, Da Luosang Langjie and Yutian Fei, provided invaluable help making local arrangement including the post-conference tours. The volunteer staff member, Xin Wang (a graduate student at University of Virginia), provided an impeccable professional-type services during conference. The financial support from the following organizations, projects, and individu- als are greatly appreciated: — Tianyuan Mathematical Fund, National Natural Science Foundation of China — “985” fund, East China Normal University vii viii PREFACE — “111 Project”, Department of Mathematics, East China Normal Univer- sity — Changjiang Scholars and Innovative Research Team, Department of Math- ematics, East China Normal University — Jun Hu, “New Century Excellent Talents in University”, Beijing Institute of Technology — Fang Li, “New Century Excellent Talents in University”, Zhejiang Uni- versity — Hebing Rui, “New Century Excellent Talents in University”, East China Normal University — Yucai Su, “One-Hundred Talent Program”, University of Science and Technology of China — Jianpan Wang, Fund of Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality, No. 06JC 14024 — Jianpan Wang, fund of National Natural Science Foundation of China, No. 10631010 The ICRT-IV was co-hosted by East China Normal University and the Tibet University at Lhasa. The organizing committee consists of Jianpan Wang (Chair, East China Normal University), Da Luosang Langjie (Co-chair, Tibet University at Lhasa), Bangming Deng (Beijing Normal University), Yutian Fei (Tibet Uni- versity), Jun Hu (Beijing Institute of Technology), Ruyun Ma (Northwest Normal University), Liangang Peng (Sichuan University), Hebing Rui (East China Normal University). The program committee consists of Jianpan Wang (Chair, East China Nor- mal University), Jiping Zhang (Co-chair, Peking University), Chongying Dong (UC Santa Cruz), Jie Du (University of New South Wales), Zongzhu Lin (Kansas State University), Yucai Su (The University of Science and Technology of Chi- nese), Weiqiang Wang (University of Virginia), Nanhua Xi (Academy Sinica), Jie Xiao (Tsinghua University). Last but not least, the editors want to thank Christine M. Thivierge, Associate Editor for Proceedings at American Mathematical Society who worked so closely and patiently with the editors to ensure the timely publication of this proceedings.
