[geometry-ml:03219] MS seminar at Kavli IPMU -- Fabio Tanturri and Timothy Logvinenko

[Todor Milanov]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following two Mathematics and String theory seminars at IPMU

1) Speaker: Fabio Tanturri (Universite Lille 1)
Date:	Wed, Jan 17, 2018, 13:15 - 14:45
Place:	Seminar Room B

Title: Orbital degeneracy loci 

Abstract: In a joint project with Vladimiro Benedetti, Sara Angela Filippini, and Laurent Manivel, we introduce a new class of varieties, called orbital degeneracy loci. The base idea is to use any orbit closure in a representation of an algebraic group to generalize classical degeneracy loci of morphisms between vector bundles or zero loci of sections. In this talk I will introduce some tools to understand and study this new class of objects; with such techniques, we can exploit our construction to produce several interesting examples of projective varieties, in particular varieties with trivial or negative canonical bundle.


2) Speaker: Timothy Logvinenko (Cardiff U) 
Date: Tue, Jan 23, 2018, 15:30 - 17:00
Place:	Seminar Room B

Title:	P-functors and cyclic covers	
Abstract: will be available soon on
