Syllabus -
Last update: Michael Kompatscher, Ph.D. (14.02.2022)
This course offers an introduction to selected topics in universal algebra that are connected to the research interests of the algebra group. In summer semester 2022 this includes:
Term rewriting systems and the Knuth-Bendix algorithm
Abelianness and basics of commutator theory
Finitely based algebras
The study of Maltsev conditions (Taylor terms) and their relevance to CSPs
