The geometry seminar scheduled for Tuesday 24th November has been cancelled. The speaker would have been François Charette (Max Planck, Bonn). We hope to invite him to come another time. For interest, we keep his title and abstract here: Quantum Reidemeister torsion and open Gromov-Witten invariants. [Read more…]

Hugues Auvray (Orsay, Paris) will speak in the geometry seminar on Tuesday 17th November, 2015. The talk will take place in the Salle de profs (assuming the renovations are complete!) at 2pm. Hugue’s title is Extremal metrics of Poincaré type: asymptotic properties. His abstract follows. [Read more…]

We will have an exceptional seminar, of interest to both geometers and physicists, on Thursday 5th November, at 2pm in room O8.08. The speaker will be Kirill Krasnov, and his title is A gauge theoretic formalism for gravity. His abstract follows. [Read more…]

Marco Zambon, from KU Leuven, will speak in the geometry seminar on Tuesday 3rd November at 2pm. The talk will be in O8.08 on the 8th floor of NO. Please note the unusual room which we are using whilst the Salle de Profs is being renovated.

Marco’s title is “Multisymplectic manifolds, homotopy moment maps, and conserved quantities”; his abstract follows. [Read more…]
