The next speaker in the geometry seminar is Jason Lotay (from University College London) who will speak about The Laplacian flow in G2 geometry. We will finally return to our supposedly regular time and place, Tuesday 29th September, 14h-15h in the Salle de Profs (9th floor, building NO). Jason’s abstract is below. [Read more…]
Reading seminar on Wednesday 23rd September
The next reading seminar will take place at 11am on Wednesday 23rd September (and not in our usual Tuesday slot). It will be held in the Salle des Profs on the 9th floor of building NO. Michael Khanevsky will present the paper Renormalized area and properly embedded minimal surfaces in hyperbolic 3-manifolds by Alexakis and Mazzeo.
We are still looking for speakers or suggestions of articles for more reading seminars later in the term, so if you have ideas, please get in touch!
Save the date: Brussels-London 8 will be held on 1 December
