| Title of Talk | Don't Be So Sensitive! --On the Definition(s) of a Group |
| Abstract | We have all seen different variations on the definition of a group, and we all know that each one admits "the same structures". There are, however, some subtle but important differences among them. The class of groups and the properties that it has are sensitive to the signature (or similarity type) in which the groups are defined. In particular, in some signatures equational definitions are possible and in others they are not. |
