Seminar Representation Theory WS 2020/21
(Oberseminar Darstellungstheorie)



Subject: Equivalences of Blocks of Group Algebras

Summary: We follow Broué's survey "Equivalences of Blocks of Group Algebras" reviewing different types of equivalences between block algebras and classifying their group-theoretic and numerical invariants.

Schedule: Mondays 16:00-17:30 in the KOMMS-Raum (48-562) [KIS].
Start: Monday the 2nd of November

Format: talks will be held at the black board in Room 48-562 and will be live streamed. In November, participants should attend the talks online through the OpenOLAT page of the seminar. Further information will be sent by e-mail on Friday the 30th of October.

Videos / Notes: registered seminar participants can access the videos of the talks and sets of notes from the OpenOLAT page of the seminar. These are not publicly available.
