Abstract:
I will report on several projects in homological algebra largely conducted in collaboration with students under the Palestine Undergradute Research Opportunities Program. They all involve exploiting the identification of the category of Beck modules, for various varieties of algebras, with the category of modules over appropriately graded algebras. The examples are commutative monoids, categories, alternative algebras, and level algebras.
