Microlocal sheaves and symplecitc topology 3

The next reading seminar in our series on Microlocal sheaves and symplectic topology will take place on Tuesday November 29th, from 9h30 to around 10h30. The talk will take place in the Salle de Profs, on the 9th floor of building NO. The speaker is Roman Golovko, who will talk on “An introduction to sheaves”. His abstract follows.

I will discuss the basics of sheaf theory needed to define the notion of micro-support of a sheaf.

Getting here

The department of mathematics is in building NO, on the Campus de la Plaine, of the Université libre de Bruxelles. The geometry group is on the 7th floor. This map shows NO, as well as the metro station Delta and entrance 2, which is right by the stop for the number 71 and 72 buses. The number 95 also stops a short walk from the department. See the STIB website for more information on public transport in Brussels.
