Details
The aim of the annual Australian Algebra Conference is to foster communication between algebraists in Australia. We interpret algebra broadly, including areas such as topological algebra, algebraic logic, graph theory and coding theory. The conference is run by the Australian Algebra Group, which is a special interest group of the Australian Mathematical Society.
- Dates: Wednesday November 17 - Friday November 19, 2021.
- Times: 12:00 PM - 5:00 PM Perth time (should be - your time).
- Venue: Online, hosted by the Centre for the Mathematics of Symmetry and Computation, the University of Western Australia.
See below for more information.
Registration
Registration is free.
- Registration closes: 16th of November, 2021 - CLOSED
- Abstract and contributed talk submission: 3rd of November, 2021 - CLOSED
If you wish to give a contributed talk, please send your title and abstract to 5th.Australian.Algebra.Conference@gmail.com by the 3rd of November. Contributed talks will be 20 minutes plus questions. Please use simple LaTeX format (avoiding macros - think arXiv abstract format).
Note, you do not need to have your title/abstract ready in order to register. If we do not receive an abstract by the 3rd of November, we will simply assume that you have decided not to give a talk - don’t let this hold you back!

Gordon Preston Prize
The Gordon Preston Prize is awarded for the best presentation at the AAC given by a current student based at an Australian or overseas university. The presentations will be judged by a panel appointed by the executive committee. The winner of the prize will receive $300. The Rules for the Gordon Preston Prize are available on the website of the Australian Algebra Group.
Conference booklet
The conference booklet is available here. It conatains important information, such as the talk abstracts and Zoom links.
Links
Please refer to the conference booklet for the Zoom links. Each day there is a different link for both Stream A and Stream B.
We would also like to encourage socialisation via Gather. The link is available on the first page of the conference booklet. There will be a few theorems scattered around during the conference… See if you can work out who is responsible for them!
Timetable
Note: Official times are given in Perth time (AWST = UTC/GMT + 8 hours). Local time is intended to be helpful, but it is up to you to check it is correct.
