LOOPS 2023
- The next LOOPS conference will take place in 2023 in Poland.
Description
This is a conference about loops, quasigroups and the related geometric, algebraic and combinatorial structures.
Since 1999, LOOPS conferences have been held in every 4 years, first in Prague, then in Třešť (Czech Republic), and in Ohrid (North Macedonia). The other regular conference on non-associative mathematics is Mile High, Denver (USA).
The talks will deal with the following subjects:
- abstract loops and quasigroups
- nonassociative algebras and semifields
- loops in group theory
- loops in universal algebra
- loops in combinatorics
- quandles
Invited speakers (confirmed)
- Nicholas Cavenagh (New Zealand)
