Further detail
This is a weekly research seminar in algebra, normally with external speakers. In the academic year 2021/2022 it will be held on Tuesdays at 3pm, with a mix of Zoom and in-person seminars. The in-person talks will be held in the Watson Building, Lecture Theatre C, unless otherwise stated. In the Zoom case, a link will be sent round weekly by email, and the room will open at 2.50. Please write to one of the organisers if you’d like to be added to the mailing list. Code of conduct: The School of Mathematics is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and safe community for all. We expect co-operation and support from all staff, students and visitors to help ensure a harassment-free environment where everyone is treated with courtesy, respect and dignity.
Examples of harassment include, but are not limited to:
offensive or belittling comments related to age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, physical appearance, sexual orientation, socio-economic status and religion; continued disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate language (this does not need to be aimed directly at an individual(s) for it to contravene the code); deliberate intimidation; harassing photography or recording; inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual or other forms of attention. Such behaviours are not welcome in the School of Mathematics and will not be tolerated.
We also reject complicity that knowingly promotes, encourages, or protects discrimination or unprofessional behaviour on the part of others.
Should anyone experience or witness behaviour contravening the School of Mathematics’ Code of Conduct, please intervene where you feel comfortable doing so. We strongly urge you to report this behaviour: 0 upcoming talks and 296 talks in the archive. Frobenius algebras and fractional Calabi-Yau categories
