Burnside rings for profinite groups online meeting

 08 Jan 2021

Online

This meeting was supported as part of the ICMS Online Mathematical Sciences Seminars.
  • Nadia Mazza, University of Lancaster

About:

This meeting focussed on the generalisation of Burnside rings from finite to profinite groups and their applications in representation theory in particular. In finite group theory, Burnside rings and the functoriality of mapping a group to its Burnside ring have led to very useful results, which have also been extended to fusion systems.
