Reading seminar

Besides our research seminars, we also organise a reading seminar. Sometimes we have a theme, in which we attempt to understand an important theory. Alternatively, people students present papers they have read, in an informal atmosphere. The goal is to broaden everyone’s expertise, and to make it easier to stay on top of recent developments in a range of subjects.

The reading seminar ran last term on the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. The topic for the next series of talks will be decided soon.
