SUMMARY:Special reductive groups over an arbitrary field
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mathieu Huruguen\, University of British Columbia\n\nA linear algebraic group G defined over a field k is called special if every G-torsor over every field extension of k is trivial. In a modern language, it can be shown that the special groups are those of essential dimension zero. In 1958 Grothendieck classified special groups in the case where the …
