master class 2007
Next week our master programme on noncommutative geometry will start. Here is the list of all international mini-courses (8 hours each) and firm or tentative dates. For the latest update, it is always best to check with the Arts seminar website.
Hans-Juergen Schneider (Munich) “Hopf Galois extensions and quotient theory of Hopf algebras”. February 20-23 each day from 10h30-12h30.
Markus Reineke (Wuppertal) “Representations of quivers”. February 27-28, March 1-2 each day from 10h30-12h30.
- Arthur Ruuge (Moscow) “Semiclassical approximation of quantum mechanics”. March 6-9 each day from 10h30-12h30.
- Rupert Yu (Poitiers) in March or April.
- Isar Stubbe (Antwerp) in April.
- Fred Van Oystayen (Antwerp) in April.
- Raf Bocklandt (Antwerp) in April or May.
- Goro Kato (Los Angeles) in May.
- Florin Panaite (Bucharest) in May.
- Pjotr Hajac (Warsaw) in June.
Apart from these mini-courses there will be four regular courses (approx. 30hrs each) during the whole semester.
- Raf Bocklandt “Knot theory”.
- Lieven Le Bruyn “Noncommutative geometry”.
- Geert Van de Weyer “Quantum groups”.
- Fred Van Oysyaeyen “Noncommutative algebra”.
Dates and places of all lectures will be made available through the Arts seminar site.

Seating the first few thousand Knights
about 5 months ago - No comments
The Knight-seating problems asks for a consistent placing of n-th Knight at an odd root of unity, compatible with the two different realizations of the algebraic closure of the field with two elements.

Next time you visit your math-library, please have a look whether these books are still on the shelves : Michiel Hazewinkel‘s Formal groups and applications, William Fulton’s and Serge Lange’s Riemann-Roch algebra and Donald Knutson’s lambda-rings and the representation theory of the symmetric group. I wouldn’t be surprised if one or more of these books
The odd knights of the round table

Here’s a tiny problem illustrating our limited knowledge of finite fields : “Imagine an infinite queue of Knights , waiting to be seated at the unit-circular table. The master of ceremony (that is, you) must give Knights and a place at an odd root of unity, say and , such that the seat at the

To mark the end of 2009 and 6 years of blogging, two musical compositions with a mathematical touch to them. I wish you all a better 2010! Remember from last time that we identified Olivier Messiaen as the ‘Monsieur Modulo’ playing the musical organ at the Bourbaki wedding. This was based on the fact that
Seriously now, where was the Bourbaki wedding?

A few days before Halloween, Norbert Dufourcq (who died december 17th 1990…), sent me a comment, containing lots of useful information, hinting I did get it wrong about the church of the Bourbali wedding in the previous post. Norbert Dufourcq, an organist and student of Andre Machall, the organist-in-charge at the Saint-Germain-des-Prés church in 1939,
Where was the Bourbaki wedding?

I’m pretty certain I got the intended date & time of the Bourbaki-Pétard wedding right : June 3rd 1939 at 12h. Finding the exact location of the wedding-ceremony is an entirely different matter. And, quite probably, we are reading way too much in these pranks of the Weil-clan. Still, it’s fun trying to find an
The artist and the mathematician

Over the week-end I read The artist and the mathematician (subtitle : The story of Nicolas Bourbaki, the genius mathematician who never existed) by Amir D. Aczel. Whereas the central character of the book should be Bourbaki, it focusses more on two of Bourbaki’s most colorful members, André Weil and Alexander Grothendieck, and the many

A comment-thread well worth following while on vacation was Algebraic Geometry without Prime Ideals at the Secret Blogging Seminar. Peter Woit became lyric about it : My nomination for the all-time highest quality discussion ever held in a blog comment section goes to the comments on this posting at Secret Blogging Seminar, where several of
Grothendieck’s survival talks

The Grothendieck circle is a great resource to find published as well as unpublished texts by Alexander Grothendieck. One of the text I was unaware of is his Introduction to Functorial Algebraic Geometry, a set of notes written up by Federico Gaeta based on tape-recordings (!) of an 100-hour course given by Grothendieck in Buffalo,

It all started with this comment on the noncommutative geometry blog by “gabriel” : Even though my understanding of noncommutative geometry is limited, there are some aspects that I am able to follow. I was wondering, since there are so few blogs here, why don’t you guys forge an alliance with neverending books, you blog
Hi, I'm a professor of mathematics at the University of Antwerp, in Belgium. My research areas are non-commutative algebra and non-commutative geometry. Sometimes, you can also find me here :
