Description
Book SynopsisAlgebraic Operads: An Algorithmic Companion presents a systematic treatment of Gröbner bases in several contexts. The book builds up to the theory of Gröbner bases for operads due to the second author and Khoroshkin as well as various applications of the corresponding diamond lemmas in algebra.
The authors present a variety of topics including: noncommutative Gröbner bases and their applications to the construction of universal enveloping algebras; Gröbner bases for shuffle algebras which can be used to solve questions about combinatorics of permutations; and operadic Gröbner bases, important for applications to algebraic topology, and homological and homotopical algebra.
The last chapters of the book combine classical commutative Gröbner bases with operadic ones to approach some classification problems for operads. Throughout the book, both the mathematical theory and computational methods are emphasized and numerous algorithms, examples, and exercise
Trade Review
"This book presents a systematic treatment of Gröbner bases, and more generally of the problem of normal forms, departing from linear algebra, going through commutative and noncommutative algebra, to operads. The algorithmic aspects are especially developed, with numerous examples and exercises."- Loϊc Foissy
"By balancing computational methods and abstract reasoning, the authors of the book under review have written an excellent up-to-date introduction to Grobner basis methods applicable to associative structures, especially including operads. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers, from undergraduates to experts in the field."
