SUMMARY:Generating Systems for Finite Groups with a View towards Geometry
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Kay Magaard\, University of Birmingham, England\n\nWhen, back in 1832, Galois proved that it is impossible to solve the general quintic by radicals he invented group theory and modern algebra. Crucial to Galois proof was the knowledge that a certain pair of permutations of degree 5 forms a generating set for S_5, the symmetric group of degree 5. For …
