SEMINAR IN FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
AND RELATED AREAS
Wednesday, November 19, 2025
5:15 p.m. - 6:15 p.m. (including a coffee break)
SPEAKER : Dr. Donald Larson
The Catholic University of America
TITLE: Graphs arising from the dual Steenrod algebra at arbitrary primes
ABSTRACT: We will discuss recent results of Elliott, Hauf, Morton, Petersen, and Schow that generalize some work I did in 2022 on the relationship between the dual mod 2 Steenrod algebra and graph theory. In particular, we will review Hopf algebras and highlight the graph-theoretic interpretation of the Hopf algebra structure on the mod p dual Steenrod algebra for an arbitrary prime p. Finally, we will ask some important open questions, e.g., how might useful topological information be gleaned from all of this.
PLACE: Aquinas Hall, Room 108. The talk will also be held on Zoom from 5:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. (ET). See the information about the corresponding link below.
ORGANIZERS: V. Bogdan (The Catholic University of America), P. Kainen (Georgetown University), R. Kalpathy (The Catholic University of America), and A. Levin (The Catholic University of America).
