North British Semigroups and Applications Network - Past Meetings

LMS

NBSAN is a network of researchers in Scotland and Northern England with interests in semigroup theory and its applications. It is funded chiefly by a grant from the London Mathematical Society (with additional contributions from host departments and occasionally from other sources) and holds 2-3 meetings per year in different locations around the region. The main participant universities are East Anglia, Manchester, St Andrews and York, but our activities are open to all interested researchers. Attendance at all meetings is free. We especially welcome graduate students.

This page contains an archive of information about past activities. For information about current activities look here.

The thirty-sixth NBSAN meeting was held in Manchester on Thursday 20th and Friday 21st June 2024, as a satellite to the 75th British Mathematical Colloquium (which also featured a Semigroups Workshop). The meeting and workshop were organised by Marianne Johnson, Mark Kambites, Dmitry Kudryavtsev, Alex Levine and Nóra Szakács. Financial support was kindly provided by the London Mathematical Society, Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Manchester. The NBSAN speakers were:

In Summer 2021 we hosted some another short series of "eNBSAN" seminars:

In September 2020 we hosted a series of online expository lectures by Ashley Clayton (St Andrews) on "Direct and Subdirect Products in Groups, Semigroups and Algebras". The series, which was aimed chiefly at PhD students, was generously supported by an extra grant from the London Mathematical Society. You can access:

Accompanying the lectures were a series of informal short talks by NBSAN PhD students:

To conclude the series we held a special eNBSAN seminar on 7th October, following on from the topic of Ashley's lectures:
