Algebra Seminar by John MacQuarrie

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.

Galois coverings of categories

A covering of a category is defined much like a covering of a topological space.  Coverings of small categories can be classified using a categorical analogue to the ``fundamental groupoid''.  Focusing on the subclass of ``Galois'' (or ``Regular'') coverings, we give a (reasonably) concrete description of Galois coverings, and construct the universal Galois cover of a small category.
