Peter Pappas (Oxford)
This talk will be accessible to non-specialists and in particular details how model theory naturally leads to specific representations of abelian group rings as rings of global sections. The model-theoretic approach is motivated by algebraic results of Amitsur on the Semisimplicity Problem, on which a brief discussion will first be given.
