The theme of the working seminar this semester is "Our favorite papers". Each speaker will present a beautiful and influential paper in algebraic geometry and tell us all about why it is among their favorite papers.
We will also have three talks on Hodge theory that we are still missing after the
working seminar on Hodge theory last year.
This is intended as a friendly learning seminar; we will take the time to introduce the foundational material and discuss examples. Everybody is welcome!
Schedule: Wednesday 4-5pm Room 106
First talk: October 12th, 2022
Tentative Schedule: (also availabe on the Liverpool algebraic geometry Google calendar)
