Professor Anne Shepler invites you to attend the thesis project defense of Christine Uhl. Cookies and coffee will be served in GAB 472 following the event.
Abstract:
Every reflection on a real or complex vector space extends to a graded algebra automorphism of the commutative polynomial ring of the space. We consider analogs for quantum polynomial rings: algebra automorphisms with graded trace behaving like that of a reflection. Additionally, we will dive into Quantum Drinfeld Hecke Algebras, variants of symplectic reflection algebras and Lusztig's graded Hecke algebras defined for quantum polynomial rings.
