Konferenzen zum Thema Gruppentheorie in Großbritannien

University of Hull, Department of Mathematics

We are pleased to announce a one day conference dedicated to Hanna Neumann (1914 – 1971). It will be held at University of Hull, 12 June 2020.

Hanna Neumann was an outstanding mathematician whose research has significantly influenced the development of modern group theory. Her key achievements were in combinatorial group theory, and her book ‘Varieties of Groups’ (Springer 1967) is now a recognised classic. Hanna’s academic career was closely tied to the University of Hull, where she worked from 1946 until 1958. The conference includes lectures and a number of public events. Further details will be posted on the conference webpage.

Algebra,    Geometrie und Topologie

This final workshop will aim to bring all strands of the programme together. There will be speakers covering aspects of all the main themes, focussing particularly on the simple groups: representation theory, subgroup structure, fusion systems and local group theory, computational algebra, and connections with other areas. The workshop will particularly celebrate the great influence of the work of Michael Aschbacher and Robert Guralnick on all of these themes.
