Conformal algebras, a relatively new area in algebraic research, originate from structures in mathematical physics. This series of lectures will explore various equivalent definitions of conformal algebras and review key results in their structure theory and combinatorial methods. Prerequisites include basic knowledge of associative algebras and their representations; familiarity with non-associative algebras and operads is helpful but not required.
Pavel Kolesnikov is a researcher at the Sobolev Institute of Mathematics and a professor at Novosibirsk State University. His research focuses on non-associative structures in contemporary mathematics, including Rota-Baxter algebras, dendriform algebras, conformal algebras, and vertex algebras.
