L3

On connectedness of the centralizers of tori and other concerns around the Weyl group.

Jeffrey Burdges

(Manchester)

Abstract

I'll include a rather short proof of this connectedness in a group of finite

Morley rank, but I'll maybe spend most of the time talking about related matter

without giving proofs.

Garside's Solution to the Conjugacy Problem in the Braid Group

Tristram de Piro

(Camerino)

Abstract

I will discuss Garside's representation of elements of the braid group in terms of "half- twists" and the corresponding solution to the Conjugacy Problem, originally posed by Artin. If time permits, I will discuss some geometric implications of this result.

L3

Blurred exponentiation and the geometry of exponential fields

Jonathan Kirby

(UIC, Chicago)

Abstract

I will discuss the proof that the exponential algebraic closure operator on the complex exponential field is isomorphic to the pregeometry which controls the "pseudoexponential" field.
