A twisted Euclidean algorithm
Senia Sheydvassar (CUNY Graduate Center and Technion - Israel Institute of Technology)
Abstract: Considering that it is millennia old, it is surprising how useful the Euclidean algorithm still is and how often it yields new insights. In this talk, we will discuss an analog of the classical Euclidean algorithm which applies to rings equipped with an involution. We will show various applications of such an algorithm in number theory and geometry and potentially discuss some open problems.
