Ben’s title is “A complex analytic structure on the compactification of the moduli space of Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections on a projective manifold”. The talk will take place in the Salle de Profs, on the 9th floor of building NO. His abstract is below. [Read more…]

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.
