Semisimple Lie Theory seminar

Michael Baker, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Clifford algebras and spin representations II”

After briefly reviewing some of the objects introduced last time, I will prove that the twisted adjoint representation exhibits Spin(V,q) and Pin(V,q) as double covers of SO(V,q) and O(V,q) respectively.

Geometry working seminar

Talk 1. Mohamed El Alami, Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

“The Hilbert Scheme as a Classifying Space”

Given some type of geometric objects (vector bundles, elliptic curves...etc) classified up to some notion of equivalence by a set X, is it possible to put a natural scheme structure on this classifying space?

MMath Graduate Thesis Presentation

Robert Xu Yang, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Interpolation Sets for Compact Abelian Groups"

We will study various properties of I_0 and e-Kronecker sets.  We show that most infinite sets in the discrete dual group contain infinite interpolation sets.

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 1:30 pm - 1:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Compact groups seminars

Mahmood Alaghmandan, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Compact Groups”

Compact groups are considered the most tractable class of examples in non-commutative harmonic analysis. For example, there is a nice representation theory of compact groups which is a natural generalization of the character theory of finite groups.

Algebra learning seminar

Ehsaan Hossain, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Organization and Stably-Free Modules”

Algebraic K-theory is a branch of homological algebra generalizing linear algebra over a field to an arbitrary ring.

Geometry working

Organizational Meeting

Tuesday, September 16, 2014 3:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Computability learning seminar

Sam Eisenstat, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Background for Computable Abelian Group Theory”

The class of abelian groups is somewhat well-behaved from the perspective of computability theory, since the theory of abelian groups is decidable. This implies, for example, that the word problem for finitely generated abelian groups is decidable.

Algebra learning seminar

Ehsaan Hossain, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

“Projective modules”

If R is a ring, we can define an abelian group K0(R) by using projective modules.
