London Algebra Colloquium

City University London   Imperial College London   Queen Mary, University of London

Colloquia at Imperial College London, January–June 2013


It is probably better to go to http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/puremaths/research/algebra/londonalgebracolloquia for this term’s seminars, though I shall try to keep these pages fairly up-to-date.
This term (and next) the London Algebra Colloquium will be held in Imperial College London. The time is Thursdays at 5:00pm (rather than the usual 4:45pm), in lecture room 139. We meet for tea at about 4:15pm in the common room (Huxley 548).

Details of (all) previous colloquia can be found here.
The previous term’s seminars can also be found here.
