Algebra seminar by David Stewart

All members of the department are welcome: undergraduates, postgraduates, postdocs, teaching staff, technical staff - anyone who would like to attend and learn a little bit about what our speakers do in their research career. Members from other disciplines within the School, and the wider University community, are also welcome to attend.

All PhD students in Chemistry are expected to attend as part of their PhD training.

Archaeology of unipotent radicals.

We describe some methods in non-abelian $1$-cohomology of algebraic groups. Ultimately this leads us to a complete classification of the conjugacy classes of simple subgroups of $G_2$ and $F_4$ in positive characteristic.

Speaker: David Stewart (Oxford)
