SEMINAR: Groups and Combinatorics Seminar: Barbara Baumeister, 4pm Sep 28 in Weatherburn LT

Speaker: Barbara Baumeister (Universität Bielefeld)

Title: Non-crossing partitions in Coxeter and Artin groups

Time and place: 4pm Friday 28 Sep 2018, Weatherburn LT

Abstract: The talk will start with an introduction to non-crossing partitions, Coxeter and braid or more generally Artin groups and the relations between these objects. A motivation for the study of these objects is the word and the conjugacy problem in Artin groups. We will describe the non-crossing partitions in the Artin groups and will apply it in the end to the study of Hecke algebras.

The following week Carlisle King will speak. Future seminars will be updated later http://www.maths.uwa.edu.au/~glasby/GroupsAndCombinatoricsSeminar/S18.html
