Algebra Seminar

Using involution centralisers in linear group algorithms

Eamonn O’Brien

11th May, 12:05-12:55pm, Carslaw 375


Abstract

Involution centralisers have long been of theoretical importance. Recently algorithms for linear groups have been developed which exploit these. We will first discuss a method to construct an involution centraliser, then report on their applications to solve algorithmic questions.


After the seminar we will take the speaker to lunch at the Grandstand.
