The department offers a bridge course in algebra (631-632) covering undergraduate material at a more advanced level and pace and a "true" graduate algebra course (731-732) every year. Almost every semester, we also offer an advanced course in algebra; some recent examples include Ring Theory, Homological Algebra, and special topics courses including Lie Algebras (and Lie Groups), Algebraic Groups, Algebraic Geometry, Noetherian rings, Lie Superalgebras, Combinatorics. Each semester there is a seminar in algebra. Sometimes seminars cover diverse topics; other times they focus on a particular topic. Recent topics have included Toric varieties, exceptional groups and Lie algebras, algebraic geometry, Hopf algebras and quantum groups, homological algebra, non-commutative algebraic geometry á la Artin, van der Bergh, et al., Gröbner bases, symmetric functions and representations of the symmetric group, Kac-Moody Lie algebras, quantum computing. [The above refers to the academic year; usually there are no formal graduate algebra courses or seminars during the summer.]
Below are some of the main research areas among the group, along with the researchers involved in these areas. (Obviously these are often rough approximations.) To find out more about each topic, click on the name of the topic. Note - this list hasn't been updated recently.
