The q-Difference Noether Problem for Complex Reflection Groups and Quantum OGZ Algebras Jonas Hartwig Assistant Professor of Mathematics Iowa State University "For any complex reflection group G=G(m,p,n), we prove that the G-invariants of the division ring of fractions of the... Read More
Boundary Classification in Groups with Isolated Flats Matthew Haulmark University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Student "In 2000 Kapovich and Kleiner proved that if G is a one-ended hyperbolic group that does not split over a two-ended subgroup, then the boundary of... Read More
Extending Enveloping Algebras via Anti-Cocommutative Elements Daniel Yee University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee PhD Student "We know that given a connected Hopf algebra H, the universal enveloping algebra U(P(H)) embeds in H as a Hopf subalgebra. Depending on P(H), we show that... Read More
