General Information
The conference Automorphic Forms, Representations, and Combinatorics will take place at Stanford University from August 13--16, 2012. The conference is in honor of Daniel Bump.
Daniel Bump has been a leading mathematician in automorphic forms, representation theory and number theory for over three decades. Together with his many collaborators, he has contributed to a greater understanding of Whittaker functions, L-functions, the metaplectic group, and multiple Dirichlet series, with additional papers in such diverse areas as Toeplitz matrices, Voronoi-summation formulae, and exactly solved models in statistical mechanics. He has authored well-received textbooks which have laid the groundwork for students to learn automorphic forms and representations, Lie groups, and algebraic geometry, and mentored a large and ever-expanding group of students and post-docs. This conference presents research related to Dan's recent interests as well as those of his doctoral students.
The conference posters (in PDF) will eventually be linked here
for advertising. For more information on the conference, please contact

Hotel Info
We have arranged accommodations at two local hotels:
To reserve your room at the Cardinal Hotel, please go to our special reservations Web page. For driving directions to the Cardinal Hotel from the San Francisco and San Jose airports, visit the Cardinal Hotel's ``e-Map'' page. In addition, you can also find a list of shuttle bus companies that serve both airports. Phone numbers and estimated transportation charges are also listed.
The Hotel California, although a bit more distant from the campus (approximately 1.7 miles), is one of the most popular with our year-round guests. It is a small inn located in the ``southern downtown'' area of Palo Alto, just off California Avenue (dubbed Palo Alto's ``Avenue of the Arts'' and home to many shopping and eating establishments).
To make your reservations, please contact the hotel directly, and be sure to mention the ``Dan Bump Birthday Conference'' to get our special room rate.

Getting to the Conference
Buses and Shuttles(Rates are approximate)
- Super Shuttle: 1(800) 258-3826
SFO & SJC $26 - Santa Clara Airporter: 1(800) 771-7794
SFO $39 / SJC $30 - Silicon Valley: 1(800) 400-2365
SFO $30 / SJC $30 - Yellow Cab: (650) 321-1234
SFO $50
If you don't want to rent a car or take a cab or shuttle, you can get to Palo Alto from either the San Francisco or San Jose Airport by train.
From San Francisco Airport: You will first need to take a BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) train or taxi from the airport to the Millbrae train station and then catch a CalTrain Southbound to the Palo Alto station (if you are staying at the Cardinal Hotel) or to the California Avenue station (if you are staying at the Hotel California).
From San Jose Airport: There is no direct shuttle or bus from the Airport to the train station. Instead, catch the VTA Airport Flyer, which makes frequent runs between the Airport and the Santa Clara CalTrain Station, or take a taxi to the San Jose CalTrain Station.
Take the Northbound CalTrain to the California Avenue station (if you are staying at the Hotel California) or the Palo Alto station (if you are staying at the Cardinal Hotel).
Please note that, although the combined fares for this method of transportation are considerably lower than the alternatives, the convenience is also considerably less.
Conference Location
The conference will take place on the Stanford Campus, in the Department of Mathematics.
