6th - 8th July 2022
The 23rd Postgraduate Group Theory Conference (PGTC) will be held in London this July. The conference will be held across three different London universities, King's College London, Imperial College London and City University of London.
Applications are now closed.
We are excited to announce Dr Alison Parker from the University of Leeds and Professor Peter Cameron from the University of St Andrews and Queen Mary University as an invited speakers. We are also happy to announce that Professor Cheryl Praeger from the University of Western Australia will be giving a talk. Unfortunately Professor Pham Huu Tiep can no longer make it.
Here are the title and abstracts for the talks taking place during the conference.
