The DEPARTMENT of MATHEMATICS & The Center for Computational Mathematics and Scientific Computation at The University of Haifa announce the Annual Distinguished Lecturer Series in Mathematics =================================================== Professor EFIM ZELMANOV University of California at San Diego will deliver a series of lectures at the University of Haifa on April 13-15, 2010 Lecture I: "Asymptotic properties of finite groups", ========== Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 16:30 Abstract: We will discuss the recent developments in the asymptotic theory of finite groups and their links to theoretical computer science, number theory and topology. Lecture II: "How algebras grow", =========== Wednesday, April 14, 2010 at 16:30 Abstract: The talk will focus on infinite dimensional algebras of polynomial growth and the recent attempts to cross ring theory and geometry. Lecture III: "Root graded algebras, Lie bialgebras and quantum groups" ============ Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 11:00 Abstract: We will outline a complete classification of Lie bialgebras on current algebras and the corresponding parametric solutions of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. .......................................................................... All talks will be held in Room 570 (5th floor), Science & Education Building, University of Haifa Light refreshments will be served 30 minutes before each talk.
