A series of algebra seminars has begun at BIMS! In the first week, Olcay Coşkun, the Laboratory Director, gave a talk titled "Obstructions for Gluing Biset Functions I". In this joint work with Ergun Yalçın from Bilkent University, they introduced a general technique for solving gluing problems in the representation theory of finite groups. In this first part of the series of talks, Coşkun introduced the basic notations and setup for discussing this problem in the language of homological algebra. In the coming weeks, the general theory for solving gluing problems will also be introduced and the gluing problem for endo-permutation modules will be discussed.
