This semester, we will be looking at moduli of surfaces, with a particular emphasis on surfaces of general type (at least to start).
| Date | Speaker | Topic | Abstract |
| Monday September 17th | Christian Lundkvist | Moduli spaces of curves | Click here |
| Monday September 24th | Radu Laza | An overview of compactification of Moduli Spaces of surfaces of general type. | |
| Monday October 1st | Not meeting | Not meeting | |
| Monday October 8th | Kevin Tucker | On singularities and relations with moduli of surfaces of general type. | Monday October 15th | Not meeting | Fall Break | Have Fun |
| Monday October 22nd | Kevin Tucker | On the singularities that are important to us, part II. | |
| Monday October 29th | Karl Schwede | Boundedness of our Moduli problem | We've now talked about the classes of singularities we want let "join the party". I will talk about boundedness for this new moduli problem. See the papers of Alexeev and Karu below. |
| Monday November 5th | Karl Schwede | Boundedness of our Moduli problem part 2 | |
| Monday November 12th | Renzo Cavalieri | On an example of Hacking | |
| Monday November 19th | Not meeting | Early thanksgiving break! | |
| Monday November 26th | Amanda Knecht | The Naruki Cross Ratio Variety as a moduli space of cubic surfaces | See the paper of Naruki below. |
| Monday December 3rd | Organizational meeting for next semester | Join us as we decide on a topic and a time. |
Some suggested topics include: Rational curves with a goal of understanding Graber-Harris-Starr Log geometry D-modules in positive characteristic GIT |
