Old theorems, new proofs: A week in fusion systems (HELD IN CHCH, Tom Gate, Room 2)
Last week, I proved five theorems about fusion systems, each with a (relatively) trivial proof. All of these theorems were known, but in each case the proof was (in some cases highly) non-trivial. I will introduce fusion systems and talk a bit about why they are interesting, and then prove some, or maybe all, of the theorems I proved.
