Past Events

A number of events were organised by MUN algebraists in cooperation with their colleagues even before the creation of AAC.


A Summer 1999 CMS symposium “Perspectives in Ring Theory” was organized by Eric Jespers (Brussels) and Edgar Goodaire (Memorial University).

From May 28 – June 1, 2001 we held the International Conference “Groups, Rings, Lie and Hopf Algebras” (Organisers: Yuri Bahturin, Edgar Goodaire, Mike Parmenter, and Yiqiang Zhou, all from Memorial University). The volume of Proceedings of this conference appeared in Kluwer in 2002. Some pictures from that conference can be found here.

From August 29 – September 3, 2002 we held an International Workshop “Polynomial Identities in Algebras”(Organisers: Yuri Bahturin, Antonio Giambruno (University of Palermo, Italy), Amitai Regev (Weizmann Institute, Israel) and Mikhail Zaicev (Moscow University, Russia)). See some conference pictures here.

On October 19 and 20, 2002, an AARMS Special Session on Ring Theory was held at Mount Allison University as part of APICS Conference (Organisers: Margaret Beattie (Mount Allison University), Mike Parmenter (Memorial University) and Richard Wood (Dalhousie University)).

From August 30 – September 4, 2003 we held an International Workshop “Locally Finite Lie Algebras” (Organisers: Yuri Bahturin , Georgia Benkart (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Ivan Penkov (UC Riverside), Helmut Strade (Hamburg University), Alexander Zalesskii (University of East Anglia)) at the Banff International Research Centre.

From June 12 – June 15, 2004, we organised a Workshop/Core Session of 2004 Summer Meeting of Canadian Mathematical Society “Hopf Algebras and Related Topics”.(Organisers: Yuri Bahturin, Margaret Beattie (Mount Allison University), Luzius Grunenfelder (Dalhousie University), Susan Montgomery (University of Southern California), Earl Taft (Rutgers University)).

For four week periods during the summers of 2002, 2003, and 2004 Edgar Goodaire organised AARMS Summer Schools. Read about AARMS Summer Schools here.

On August 13-17, 2007, we held the International Workshop " Groups, Rings, Lie and Hopf Algebras II". The preparation of the workshop and its work were greatly facilitated by the Station Manager Ms Fiona Cuthbert. A lot of work was done by the staff of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (Departmental Head Dr Chris Radford), with the most invaluable contribution by Ms Ros English. From AAC, the organizational work was done by the AAC Coordinator Dr Yuri Bahturin, Drs Mikhail Kochetov and Mike Parmenter, with the help of our Postdoctoral Fellow Dr Marina Tvalavadze, Ph D student Jason McGraw and SWASP student Brad Dart.

Information about events of the AAC from September 2006 to September 2008 can be also found in this PDF file.

On August 29 - September 2, 2008, we held the International Workshop " Graded Algebras and Superalgebras". The organizational work was done by the AAC Coordinator Dr Yuri Bahturin, Drs Mikhail Kochetov, Mike Parmenter, and Yiqiang Zhou, with the help of Ph D student Jason McGraw and USRA student Andrew Stewart. Pictures from the workshop on Graded Algebras & Superalgebras here.


The sixth annual meeting of Combinatorial Algebra Meets Algebraic Combinatorics from January 16-18, 2009 was organised by Yuri Bahturin (Memorial University), Nantel Bergeron (York University), Sara Faridi (Dalhousie University), Tony Geramita (Queen's University and University of Genoa), Mikhail Kotchetov (Memorial University). It was held at Memorial University. The abstracts of the talks are in this PDF file.

On June 3 — June 8, 2009, we held the International Workshop and Session of the CMS Summer Meeting “ Groups and Hopf Algebras
(Organizers: Yuri Bahturin (Memorial University), Margaret Beattie (Mount Allison University), Eric Jespers (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Wolfgang Kimmerle (University of Stuttgart), Mikhail Kochetov (Memorial University), David Radford (University of Illinois-Chicago), Sudarshan Sehgal (University of Alberta))

On July 19 — 23, 2010, we organized the International Workshop " Infinite Dimensional Lie algebras". (Organizers: Yuri Bahturin (Memorial University), Vyacheslav Futorny (University of São Paulo, Brazil), Mikhail Kochetov (Memorial University), Ivan Penkov (Jacobs University of Bremen, Germany)). The abstracts of the talks are in this PDF file.

On September 2 — 6, 2011, we held the International Workshop " Polynomial Identities in Algebras. II"

On August 12 — 18, 2012, we held the International Workshop " Groups, Rings, Lie and Hopf Algebras. III" at the Bonne Bay Marine Station in Norris Point, NL.
