Combinatorics and Algebra: Research directions on Hopf algebras

Title: Research directions on Hopf algebras

Speaker: Van Nguyen, USNA
Date and time: Monday, February 6, 4–5 pm
Place: Rome 206

Abstract: This talk is a friendly introduction to Hopf algebras, a large class of (noncommutative) algebras that are widely studied and arise in many areas of mathematics. We will discuss some recent developments and research directions on Hopf algebras. Necessary background will be explained. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students are welcome to attend and to explore this field of mathematics.
