Twentysixth meeting of the Transpennine Topology Triangle

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
University of Leicester
Wednesday 20th September 2000

The meeting is part of a one week programme of algebra and topology activities. The programme for the whole week is nearly complete. The programme for the main topology days is as follows.

Wednesday 20th September

Coffee will be available in F9 from 11.00 am, and the first talk will start at 11.30 am.

11.30 Dietrich Notbohm (Leicester)
Uniqueness of 2-compact groups
12.45 Lunch
2.30 Andrey Lazarev (Bristol)
Moduli spaces of A-infinity maps
3.30 Tea
4.30 Andy Baker (Glasgow)
Brave new Hopf algebroids and some applications

There is a second topology day which is not part of the TTT, but the programme is included here since it will certainly be of interest to TTT members.

Thursday 21st September (not TTT!)

9.30 Ran Levi (Aberdeen)
- To be announced
10.30 Coffee
11.30 Alexander Zimmermann (Amiens)
Derived categories of group rings
2.30 Sarah Whitehouse (Lens)
Symmetric numerical polynomials and cooperations in K-theory
3.30 Tea
4.30 Srikanth Iyengar (Sheffield)
Finiteness in the homology of commutative algebras

As usual, TTT26 is partially supported by an LMS Scheme 3 grant and travel for TTT members will be reimbursed. For those wishing to stay overnight, there will be some financial assistance by the University of Leicester, but if you have not already booked accommodation then please let me know fairly urgently. Even if you do not wish to stay overnight, I do need to know (if you have not already told me) if you will be joining us for lunch on the Wednesday as I need to make specific bookings. Anyone who wishes to participate is welcome: we shall operate the usual arrangements for assistance with travel expenses.
Tea and Coffee will be served in the common room.
For further information email John Hunton jrh7@mcs.le.ac.uk (or John Greenlees j.greenlees@sheffield.ac.uk or Nige Ray nige@ma.man.ac.uk) if you are interested, so we can make approximately the right amount of tea and coffee.

How to get there

It is a short walk from the rail station. See maps and how to get to Leicester University

The meeting is partially supported by a Scheme 3 grant from the London Mathematical Society.
