Abstract:
Conformal algebras are relatively new area of algebraic research based on some structures emerged in mathematical physics. We will observe various equivalent approaches to the definition of conformal algebras and review main results in structure theory and combinatorial techniques in this field. Prerequisites include just associative algebras and their representations, a knowledge on the basics of non-associative algebras and operads is welcome but not necessary.

Pavel Kolesnikov is a research member of the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics and a professor of Novosibirsk State University. He specializes in the study of non-associative structures emerging in contemporary mathematics, like Rota-Baxter algebras, dendriform algebras, conformal and vertex algebras, etc.
