Prerequisite
Description
Advanced topics in algebra drawn from pure and applied mathematics. Possible topics include: representation theory, Lie groups and Lie algebras, geometric group theory, Galois theory, algebraic number theory, computational algebra, Category theory, Grobner bases, algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, cryptanalysis, finite group theory, modular forms, commutative algebra, homological algebra, group cohomology, character theory of finite groups, mathematical physics, ring theory.
Desired Learning Outcomes
Prerequisites
Students are expected to have completed the graduate algebra sequence Math 671 and Math 672.
Minimal learning outcomes
These will depend on the topic chosen.
Additional topics
Past topics chosen include:
- Representations of algebras and finite groups, using the book by Curtis and Reiner.
- Modular forms using a book by Kilford "Modular forms: a classical and computational introduction."
- Lie algebras, using a book by J Humphreys.
- Lie groups, using the book "Lie groups, Lie algberas and representations", by Brian C. Hall.
