Student colloquium

Kenneth Onuma, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

In this talk, I will define the following notions: transitive subalgebras, d-irreducible subalgebras and (k,m)-transitive subalgebras of linear operators on a vector space. I will give some examples and prove a structure theorem for minimal (k,m)-transitive subalgebras of linear operators on a vector space.

Universal Algebra seminar

Ross Willard, Department of Pure Mathematics, University Waterloo

“Varieties with a difference term. I”

In a series of two or three lectures, I will describe the class of varieties (of algebras) which have a difference term.
