AboutAbout the lab
The mathematics of Hopf algebras and Galois theory
The Masuoka Lab studies Hopf algebras, (super) group schemes, Galois theory, and tensor categories.
Prof. Akira Masuoka, who heads the lab, is a professor who studies mathematics at the University of Tsukuba.
The lab's website carries records of research meetings and seminars on Hopf algebras.
The professor has also written articles introducing Galois theory and an introductory textbook on linear algebra.
Key terms
- Hopf algebra
- An algebraic system equipped with a coproduct, which corresponds to the group operation, in addition to a product; it allows groups to be handled in the language of algebra
- Group scheme
- A scheme, a geometric object in algebraic geometry, equipped with a group operation
- Galois theory
- A theory that uses groups to study the symmetry seen in permutations of the solutions of an equation
