people working in them are:
See also under Algebraic Geometry for links with geometry.
There are approximately 17 research students supervised by the above staff members, of whom 7 are currently doing the MSc.
A number of seminars are held weekly during term time.
- The algebra seminar meets on Thursdays and
features talks of general interest by staff members, research
students, and visiting speakers.
- The Lie Theory Seminar meets on Mondays, 4-5.
The theme may be different this year: one suggestion is to go
in the direction of symmetric functions following the program at
the Newton's institute.
- The ring theory seminar is a weekly informal
meeting involving interested staff and graduate students. The
current topic is clique theory.
The following graduate level courses are currently being offered. It
is likely that there will be one or two reading courses in addition to these.
MA442 Group Theory
MA453 Lie Algebras
MA5N7 Commutative Rings and Homological Algebra
