"Quantum representations of handlebody groups"
Mapping class groups of surfaces and handlebody groups are fundamental objects in low-dimensional topology. Quantum algebra and mathematical physics provide large classes of finite dimensional representations for both.

"Introduction to Intersection Theory II"
Continuing from where we left off, I will explain more properties of the chow ring along with more examples (such as Veronese embedding). Near the end, I will explain the first Chern class of a line bundle and draw connections to canonical divisors of various varieties.
This seminar will be held both online and in person:
