VIGRE Algebra Student Seminar:  Daniel Nakano
Friday
1:30pm, Room 302

Since Fall 2003 Brian Boe, Dan Nakano and Dave Benson (replaced by Lenny Chastkofsky in Fall 2005) have organized a VIGRE Algebra Seminar and working research group. The topics for 2003-04 were conjugacy classes of nilpotent matrices via cohomology and representation theory, and support varieties for Lie algebras. The topic for 2004-05 was support varieties for symmetric groups. The topic for 2005-08 is cohomology of Lie algebras. As of October 2005, the group has two papers published in Journal of Algebra, and a third paper submitted. More information on the VIGRE Algebra Group's activities in 2003-07 is available here: http://www.math.uga.edu/~nakano/vigre/vigre.html.
