Critical sequences of rank-to-rank embeddings and a tower of finite left distributive algebras: Part II
Sheila Miller
City Tech - CUNY
The speaker will continue to discuss the properties of rank-into-rank embeddings and their connections to the study of the tower of finite left-distributive algebras known as Laver Tables.
Sheila Miller is an Assistant Professor at the New York City College of Technology, in CUNY. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2007, with a thesis entitled “Free Left-Distributive Algebras,” written under the supervision of Richard Laver, and subsequently held a postdoctoral position at the USMA in West Point. In addition to set theory and distributive algebras, she studies mathematical biology, with ongoing research into populations of sea turtles.
