Dear all,
We are pleased to invite you to the next algebra seminar on Thursday, December 12, at 15:00 in the seminar room (G6.60).
The speaker will be Be'eri Greenfeld, from the University of Washington who is visiting us this month (supported by fwo).
For the occasion, there will be cookies for everyone!
Speaker: Be'eri Greenfeld
Title: Local smallness and global largeness: a quantitative approach
Abstract:
The Kurosh Problem asks whether a finitely generated algebraic algebra can be infinite-dimensional. This is the algebraic counterpart of the Burnside Problem, which asks whether a finitely generated periodic group can be infinite. We examine these problems from modern perspectives, including quantitative asymptotics, complexity of words, free subobjects and randomization.
We look forward to seeing you! Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think is interested.
Best,
Silvia
