Title: Topological obstructions and Azumaya algebras
Speaker: Ben Williams - (University of British Columbia)
Date: Monday, 25th January 2016
Time: 4pm
Location: Agriculture. 1.01 (Seminar Room).
Abstract:
I will explain how Azumaya algebras generalize central simple algebras over fields, and how in the theory of Azumaya algebras one may employ topological methods to produce examples with properties that do not appear in the case of central simple algebras.
