“Deformations of Complex Structures”
Today we’ll investigate some basic deformation theory for complex structures, culminating in a proof of the Tian Todorov lemma.

"Hopf Modules and Integrals"
Let $H$ be a hopf algebra. We will prove the fundamental theorem of $H$ hopf modules. After that we investigate the connection between integrals and the rational part of $H^*$.

"Logical unification"
I will talk on preliminary work on the role of [0,1]-valued
logic in unifying the growing number of first order logics. In
particular, elementary classes in [0,1]-valued logic are CATs in the
sense of Ben Yaacov and the class of von Neumann algebras with faithful
actions on Hilbert spaces form an elementary class.

"The Dinitz Problem and Five-Colouring Plane Graphs"
G. H. Hardy firmly believed that there is no permanent place for ugly Mathematics. Following his dictum, Paul Erdos liked to talk about "The Book" in which God maintains the perfect proofs for mathematical theorems. This talk is an attempt to explore Erdos' idea of perfect proofs, and the territory we choose to explore is graph theory.

We finish off chapter 6 of Goldblatt: we discuss logical semantics in the context of an arbitrary topos. We then begin chapter 5: we see some first categorical properties of topoi.
