Title: The boolean algebra and the exterior algebra
Abstract: The boolean algebra is one of the most fundamental objects in the theory of partially ordered sets. Similarly the exterior algebra is one of the most fundamental objects in the theory of associative algebras. I will present a beautiful relation between these two objects that is a good illustration of the interplay between algebra, topology and combinatorics. The talk will also serve as an introduction to the general area of poset topology.
