"Toric MMP"

I will discuss the minimal model program for toric varieties.

This seminar will be held jointly online and in person:

"A Note on Geometric Theories of Fields"

Will Johnson and Jinhe Ye have shown equivalence conditions on expansions of very slim fields, strongly geometric fields and algebraically bounded fields. As a consequence, we get a one-cardinal results for definable sets and positive dimensional interpretable set. We will work though this paper, entitled "A Note on Geometric Theories of Fields".

"An Introduction to Geometric Langlands"

We will begin with a discussion of the origin of the Langlands program in number theory, which is class field theory. Then we will give an introduction to the geometric Langlands conjecture. We will show Deligne's proof of the simplest case, which is the statement for GL(1).

This seminar will be held both online and in person:

"The geometry of G2 manifolds: a marriage of non-associative algebra and non-linear analysis"
