Seminar

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 2:30 pm - 2:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Algebra Seminar

Jason Bell, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"The Schafke-Singer theorem, III"

We finish (I hope) the proof of the theorem of Schafke and Singer.

Friday, November 4, 2016 11:30 am - 11:30 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Ring Theory Seminar

Blake Madill, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"The Fundamental Theorem of Hopf Modules"

We continue our investigation of Hopf modules.

Tuesday, November 1, 2016 3:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Computability Learning Seminar

Jonny Stephenson, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Jumps of relations"

We will show that the Kleene relation introduced last week is r.i.c.e complete, and use it to define a jump operator on relations in structures. We will check that the jump behaves as expected: if Q' is the jump of a relation Q, then Q is r.i. computable in Q', but Q' is not r.i. computable in Q.

Friday, November 4, 2016 9:00 am - 9:00 am EDT (GMT -04:00)

Geometric Analysis Seminar

Anthony McCormick, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Formality of Compact Kähler Manifolds"

Thursday, October 6, 2016 1:30 pm - 1:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Topos Theory Learning Seminar

Christopher Hawthorne, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

We begin chapter 4 of Goldblatt. (Category theory background from chapter 3 will be assumed.) We introduce subobjects and subobject classifiers; time permitting, we will get to the definition of a topos.

Wednesday, September 7, 2016 3:00 pm - 3:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Master's Thesis Seminar

Se-Jin Sam Kim, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Crossed products and Morita equivalence"

The talk will consist of three parts. Firstly, we will establish some basic notions of crossed product $C^*$-algebras, with a focus on the irrational rotation algebras.
