Professor Max-Albert Knus (ETH, Zurich)

will speak on

From etale algebras to Clifford algebras

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Wed 28th March 2007
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: The Galois cohomology of Weyl groups of simple algebraic groups classify certain types of etale algebras. For groups of type D_n these etale algebras are double covers and are related to Clifford
algebras of quadratic spaces. (Joint work with Jean-Pierre Tignol).
