Algebra
The algebra group has worked extensively on tight closure and related
questions in commutative algebra. Another major theme is the study of
local cohomology; this connects with the work of the Topology group
via the work of Greenlees on the local cohomology of equivariant
cohomology rings. On the noncommutative side, the group has studied
classes of rings such as (generalised) Weyl algebras, rings of
difference operators, quantum algebras, and Frobenius skew polynomial
rings.
