Titles and Abstracts

  • Profinite groups.
A profinite group is an inverse limit of finite groups. We will discuss algebraic properties of these groups and their relations with combinatorics, number theory and topology.

  • Infinite-dimensional algebras.
I will talk about some old problems and new examples of infinite-dimensional algebras with restrictions on growth.
