Batalin-vilkovisky structures on ext and tor Seminar

Speaker information

Ulrich Kraemer , University of Glasgow. 'In a nutshell, I try to understand why and how and which structures and invariants that come up in geometry, topology or even physics have analogues in pure algebra. So although my core subject is algebra, my work is inspired to some extent by other fields. Some concrete key words that one can look up e.g. on Wikipedia in order to get a better idea of what I do are homological algebra, noncommutative geometry, Hopf algebras, quantum groups and Dirac operators.'
