We are home to 30 faculty, four staff, approximately 60 graduate students, several research visitors, and numerous undergraduate students. We offer exciting and challenging programs leading to BMath, MMath and PhD degrees. We nurture a very active research environment and are intensely devoted to both ground-breaking research and excellent teaching.
Events
Model Theory Working Seminar
Rahim Moosa, University of Waterloo
Definable groups in CCM
I will survey what is known about the structure of definable groups in both the standard and nonstandard models of CCM.
MC 5479
Differential Geometry Working Seminar
Faisal Romshoo, University of Waterloo
Deformations of calibrations
We will look at a criterion for unobstructedness for calibrations and see when the corresponding moduli spacesform smooth manifolds, following the approach by Goto in https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0112197
MC 5403
Geometry and Topology Seminar
Evan Sundbo, University of Waterloo
Broken Toric Varieties and Balloon Animal Maps
We will see the definition and some examples of broken toric varieties and balloon animal maps between them. After an overview of some of the many different areas in which they appear, we look at how their geometry can be studied via complexes of sheaves on an associated complex of polytopes. This yields results such as a version of the Decomposition Theorem and some explicit formulas for dimensions of rational cohomology groups of broken toric varieties.
