Give a talk!

Fall 2011 Semester

Date Speaker Title (click to see abstract)
September 14 (Wed.) Lalit Jain Introduction
September 21 (Wed.) David Dynerman Artin Stacks

September 14

Lalit Jain
Title: Introduction

Abstract: In this talk I'll try to define a few of the basic concepts (or at least words) you'll hear in the research AG seminar. The target audience is new graduate students who have had no (or perhaps only a classical) introduction to algebraic geometry.


September 21

David Dynerman
Title: Artin Stacks

Abstract: This is a preparatory talk for Yifeng Lui's seminar talk. Yifeng will be talking about recent developments in defining sheaves on Artin stacks, so I will attempt to define an Artin stack and hopefully work out an example or two.
