Title: Character values on compact simple Lie groups
Abstract: This work is part of a joint project with Aner and others to find upper bounds for values of irreducible characters in two related settings: compact simple Lie groups and finite groups of Lie type. I will discuss the first case, presenting bounds of the form
$$|\chi(g)| = O(\chi(1)^\alpha),$$

Title: Algebraic Geometry in an arbitrary variety of algebras and Algebraic Logic
Abstract: I will speak about a system of notions which lead to interesting new problems for groups and algebras as well as to reinterpretation of some old ones.

# Amitsur Algebra: Avinoam Mann (HUJI), "Irreducible characters of some p-groups"

12:00pm to 1:15pm

## Location:

Manchester Building (room 209), Jerusalem, Israel
Abstract: We will discuss the characters of some classes of finite p-groups, in particular groups of maximal class and generalizations, and normally monomial groups.
