DESCRIPTION:Speaker:  Michael Livesey \n\nTitle: On Donovan's conjecture 
 for non-abelian defect groups\n\nAbstract: Donovan's conjecture states t
 hat for any finite p-group P there exist finitely many blocks\, up to Mo
 rita equivalence\, with defect group isomorphic to P. I will describe va
 rious reduction techniques that can be applied to Donovan's conjecture. 
 In particular\, I will discuss strong Frobenius numbers and how they hav
 e been used to reduce Donovan's conjecture to quasi-simple groups in the
  case of abelian defect groups. More recently the same types of reductio
 n techniques have been applied to non-abelian defect groups\, proving th
 e conjecture for P isomorphic to Q8 x Q8 or Q8 x C_{2^n}. (This is joint
  work with C. Eaton and F. Eisele.)\n\n\n\nTime: 2pm\n\n\nPlace: Zoom
