On 7 February 2018 President of the London Mathematical Society Prof. Caroline Series FRS inaugurated the new research centre in the University of Lincoln — the Charlotte Scott Research Centre for Algebra. The centre is based at the School of Mathematics and Physics, where the Algebra Research Group was active from the very beginning, when the School opened in 2014. With Prof. Evgeny Khukhro as the director of the new centre, the algebraists in Lincoln conduct research on finite and infinite groups and their automorphisms, Lie algebras, profinite and locally finite groups, topological groups, permutation groups, polynomial algebra, algebraic number theory. The algebraists in Lincoln are supported by members of the School’s External Advisory Board including Prof. A. Borovik (Manchester), Prof. C. R. Leedham-Green (London), Prof. P. Shumyatsky (Brasilia), Prof. M. R. Vaughan-Lee (Oxford), Prof. J. Wilson (Oxford), Prof. E. Zelmanov (San Diego). Members of the centre have active…
