We shall be giving informal lectures on various parts of
algebra. These will usually be held on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 5pm
in lecture room SM1. I'll try to keep this page up to date by
specifying a week in advance who is lecturing and approximately what
they will be lecturing on. Anyone is welcome to attend; these lectures
are intended for the graduate students who have recently arrived in
Bristol and so their content is likely to be extremely informal
together with advice about where to look for more detailed treatment.
I will begin on Wednesday 10th October whilst one of
Jeremy Rickard and Jo Chuang will begin on Thursday 11th October.
An introduction to ring theory
5pm 10.10.02 SM1 Aidan Schofield
Rings and modules. Projective modules. Morita theory. Examples of
rings, modules and projective modules. The free algebra, the path
algebra of a quiver. Modules as functors.
Anything else I think I can get away with.
