Schedule:

  Day Time Room Title  
         
  Tuesday 4:10 - 5:00 1360 Murphy's Law in algebraic geometry: Badly-behaved moduli spaces (abstract)  
  Wednesday 4:10 - 6:00 3088 Reimagining universal covers and fundamental groups in algebraic and arithmetic geometry (abstract)

This is our third Spring Lecture Series in Algebraic Geometry. Previous speakers have been Burt Totaro in 2005, Paul Biran in 2006, and Shigeru Mukai in 2007. Notes from Totaro's talks, taken by Sam Payne, can be found here . Sometime soon there will be available also notes taken by Cagatay Kutluhan from Biran's lectures. Here you can find the videos from Mukai's talks.

These lectures are supported by an NSF RTG grant. Some limited funds are available for graduate students and postdocs who want to visit Ann Arbor for the lecture series. If you are interested, please contact Mircea Mustaţă.
