Abstract:
Normal forms have been used since Poincare. The problem of
converting an element in a Lie algebra into its normal form can be a
difficult calculation. In joint work with Rick Churchill we have
applied the method of spectral sequences to this problem. The
talk will be both an introduction to normal forms and (to a lesser
degree) an introduction to spectral sequences.
