Universal Algebra Seminar

Ross Willard, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Adding Gaussian elimination to local consistency checking”

In this third of several lectures, I begin the analysis of a template which has a Maltsev polymorphism and which survives the search for an inconsistency o

Algebra learning seminar

Mohamed El Alami, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“More K0

After we defined K0, the Grothendieck group for a ring, we saw some of its properties, and how it is related to the divisor class group.

Logic seminar

Denis Hirschfeldt, University of Chicago

“Computability Theoretic Reduction between Pi12Principles”

Many mathematical principles can be stated in the form ”for all X such that C(X) holds, there is a Y such that D(X,Y) holds”, where X and Y range over second order objects, and C and D are arithmet

Special presentation

Phillip Xiao, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“K-theory for C*-algebras and vector bundles - Part I”

I will introduce the K0 group for unital C*-algebras and the K0

Geometry working seminar

Ruxandra Moraru, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Varieties versus schemes, Part II”

Last week, we saw examples of schemes that illustrated how, in some cases, schemes provide a better framework for studying families or intersections of varieties than classical algebraic geometry.

Geometry & Topology seminar

Alan Thompson, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Calabi-Yau threefolds fibred by lattice polarized K3 surfaces”

I describe recent joint work with C. Doran, A. Harder and A.

Pure Math colloquium

Benjamin Steinberg, City College of New York

"Groupoid algebras and C*-algebras"

Groupoid C*-algebras form a unifying framework for a number of classes of C*-algebras including commutative ones, group C^*-algebras, group action cross products and Cuntz-Krieger, or graph, C*-algebras. Often purely algebraic properties of these algebras can be understood in terms of the groupoids, e.g., simplicity, Morita equivalence, the primitive ideal structure.

Universal Algebra seminar

Ross Willard, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Adding Gaussian elimination to local consistency checking - 4”

In this fourth of several lectures, I analyze singular pairs of variables, realizing their singu- larity in the congruence lattice of their associated

Geometry working seminar

Jonathan Herman, Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Totally Geodesic Immersions"

Given an isometric immersion, we will study further how the second  
fundamental form allows the geometry in the ambient space to be  
decomposed into geometry on the tangent and normal bundles. In  
particular, we'll discuss the Gauss-Codazzi equations. In the second  
part of the talk, we will look at totally geodesic immersions and some

Algebra learning seminar

Ehsaan Hossain, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Goodbye K0 ... Hello K1!”

All good things come to an end. For K0, now is that time.
