The geometry seminar is typically held every Monday in term time at 2pm, in the Salle des Profs (9th floor, building NO). We invite speakers with a broad range of expertise, from all areas of differential geometry, algebraic geometry and geometric analysis. If you would like to suggest a speaker, give a talk yourself, or want any further information about the seminar then contact any of the professors in the geometry group.
The schedule for the upcoming term is below. Click here to find the previous seminars, back to 2015.
