Reading group on microlocal sheaves in symplectic geometry – first talk Tuesday 25 October

We begin a new reading group this term, on microlocal sheaves in symplectic geometry. The first talk will be given on Tuesday 25 October at 9:30 am. The room is not yet fixed, but we will meet in the differential geometry corridor shortly before. The speaker is Misha Verbitsky. His title is “Derived categories” and his abstract is below. We will also discuss the different sources we will read on the topic and arrange speakers. [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.
