Analysis seminar

Sutanu Roy, Fields Institute, Toronto

“Quantum group-twisted tensor product of C*-algebras”

We put two C*-algebras together in a noncommutative tensor product using quantum group actions on them and a bicharacter relating the two quantum groups that act.

Thursday, February 20, 2014 4:00 pm - 4:00 pm EST (GMT -05:00)

Special colloquium

Matthew Satriano, University of Michigan

"Stacky Resolutions of Singularities"

We will discuss a technique which allows one to approximate singular varieties by smooth spaces called stacks. As an application, we will address the following question, as well as some generalizations: given a linear action of a group G on complex n-space C^n, when is the quotient C^n/G a singular variety? We will also mention some applications to Hodge theory and to derived equivalences.

Constraint Satisfaction and Universal Algebra learning seminar

Ian Payne, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“The End of the Proof of the Bounded Width Conjecture”

In this talk, I will begin to tackle the last two pages of the proof of the bounded width conjecture. It will likely take two lectures.

Number Theory seminar

Jonas Jankauskas, Pure Math Department, University of Waterloo

“On the intersections of geometric and arithmetic progressions”

In my talk I present results from the joint paper [1]. We prove that the intersection G ∩ A of an infinite geometric progression

Pure Math colloquium

David Wehlau, Queen's University

"Modular Invariants and Classical Invariant Theory"

Let F be a field, G a group and V a finite dimensional representation of G defined over F.

Intro to Lie Algebras

Ehsaan Hossain, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Semisimple Lie Algebras”

Root spaces are a generalization of eigenspaces, and it turns out that a semisimple Lie algebra can be recovered by its roots.
