Algebra, logic and number theory
Page content:
We are engaged in research across diverse and interrelated areas of algebra, logic and number theory.
Areas of expertise
We have concentrations of expertise across broad areas of fundamental pure research underpinning much of mathematics. We explore algebra, model theory and number theory in depth as well as the connections between and with other disciplines such as geometry, dynamical systems and topology. We also have expertise in the emerging area of tropical mathematics, which has aspects of algebra and geometry.

Algebra
Algebra is the study of abstract objects arising from across mathematics, unifying apparently distant areas.

Semigroups and semirings
A semigroup is an algebraic structure with a single associative binary operation; if it has an identity element it is called a 'monoid'.
