Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms

---

Texas-Oklahoma Representations and Automorphic forms (TORA) is a new conference series, which will be hosted in rotation by Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma, and the University of North Texas. Pending funding, there will be two TORA conferences per year. These will be weekend conferences with talks on Saturdays & Sundays. There will be two invited plenary speakers and one invited graduate student talk each meeting.

The TORA meetings will bring together the automorphic forms and representation theory community of the South Central region to hear about recent research in automorphic forms and representation theory. Graduate students and junior researchers are particularly encouraged to attend and present their own work.
