Our regular Algebra Seminar takes place on Wednesdays 1-2 pm.

In addition, we often run an informal reading seminar where faculty and graduate students give expository talks or present book chapters that they have recently read. For example, in 2015-18, we went through the monograph "Tensor Categories" by Pavel Etingof, Shlomo Gelaki, Dmitri Nikshych and Victor Ostrik, and in 2023-24, we discussed the theory of schemes following “Algebraic Geometry I: Schemes” by Ulrich Görtz and Torsten Wedhorn, augmented with other sources such as Ravi Vakil’s notes.

One of the first Algebra Seminar speakers after the creation of AAC was Professor Vladislav Kharchenko of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He gave his talk “Braided version of Shirshov-Witt theorem” on October 30, 2006. On the picture below Professor Kharchenko and his wife, also a scientist from Mexico, are on a sightseeing tour in Flat Rock, NL.
