On the Classification of Automorphic Lie Algebras
It is shown that the problem of reduction can be formulated in a uniform way
using the theory of invariants. This provides a powerful tool of analysis and
it opens the road to new applications of these algebras, beyond the context of
integrable systems. Moreover, it is proven that sl2-Automorphic Lie Algebras
associated to the icosahedral group I, the octahedral group O, the tetrahedral
group T, and the dihedral group Dn are isomorphic. The proof is based on
techniques from classical invariant theory and makes use of Clebsch-Gordan
decomposition and transvectants, Molien functions and the trace-form. This
result provides a complete classification of sl2-Automorphic Lie Algebras
associated to finite groups when the group representations are chosen to be the
same and it is a crucial step towards the complete classification of
Automorphic Lie Algebras.Comment: 29 pages, 1 diagram, 9 tables, standard LaTeX2e, submitted for

Integrability of Difference Equations Through Algebraic Entropy and Generalized Symmetries
Given an equation arising from some application or theoretical consideration one of the first questions one might ask is: What is its behavior? It is integrable? In these lectures we will introduce two different ways for establishing (and in some sense also defining) integrability for difference equations: Algebraic Entropy and Generalized Symmetries. Algebraic Entropy deals with the degrees of growth of the solution of any kind of discrete equation (ordinary, partial or even differential-difference) and usually provides a quick test to establish if an equation is or not integrable. The approach based on Generalized Symmetries also provides tools for investigating integrable equations and to find particular solutions by symmetry reductions. The main focus of the lectures will be on the computational tools that allow us to calculate Generalized Symmetries and extract the value of the Algebraic Entropy from a finite number of iterations of the map
