"Burnside Rings and
Biset Functors"
By
Abstract: It is intended that these seminars will be detailed discussions in
the area of group functors, pitched for an audience that is initially not very familiar
with Burnside rings or character theory. Sometimes, on request from the
audience, the discussion will linger on clarifications or turn to background
material and examples. Thus, a
presentation initially intended for, say, just two weeks may sometimes be extended
before the next speaker takes over. It
will not be a review sketch seminar: the aim is to explain the material to the audience
so that members of the audience can use in it their research. Because two hours
requires a lot of effort, we shall skip weeks when none of the participants
have material prepared..
