Professor Anne Shepler invites you to attend the masters project defense of Tamara Knox next Friday, October 18th at 1:00 pm in GAB 438. Cookies and coffee will be served in GAB 472 following the event. "Subgroup Decoding with Complex Reflection Groups" Abstract: Finite matrix groups can be used to transmit messages over a channel that may contain noise. Properties of complex reflection groups can make this process vastly more efficient. We discuss the selection of subgroup chains and coset representatives in the groups G(r,1,n) so as to allow for correct and quick decoding, and present experimental results towards extending these findings to other complex reflection groups.
