Lecturer(s):
Enrique Torres-Giese (University of British Columbia)
Location:
University of British Columbia

In this talk we discuss the topology and geometry of the space of pairs of commuting elements in a Lie group. We will see part of the work of Adem and Cohen on SU(2) as well as some recent advances in the case of U(2).
