The Algebraic Groups seminar will meet at 4 pm today in room # 105,

typically for 90-120 minutes with a tea and snacks break at 5:00 pm.

Today we will begin the topic of ``nilpotent matrices" following the book

of Collingwood and McGovern. The aim  of the subject is to classify nilpotent matrices (in the Lie algebra of a Lie group), and to understand their properties. The seminar presupposes no knowledge beyond eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a linear transformation.

The speaker today is Akash Yadava.
