Algebra
The Algebra research group at Syracuse University is primarily focused on Commutative & Noncommutative Algebra, Homological Algebra, Representation Theory, and Algebraic Geometry. There are regular Algebra Seminars which typically run Tuesdays 2:00–2:55 pm in Carnegie 111 and unless otherwise stated are run by Professor Stephen Diaz.

Research: Professor Diaz specializes in algebraic geometry (the study of the solutions of polynomial equations in any number of variables), and he works mainly on curves. His main goal is understanding the moduli spaces which parametrize varying families of curves. Another interest is sets of equations that define finite sets of points. | |
