Geometry working seminar

Wednesday, June 25, 2014 1:00 pm - 1:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Talk 1. Ehsaan Hossain, Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

“Extensions of line bundles, mk. II”

Last time we saw that H1(O) is in bijection with isomorphism classes of line bundles, and the product of cohomology classes corresponds to tensor product of line bundles. Now we’ll see another application of H1: extensions of L by L are classified, up to “equivalence of extensions”, by H1(Hom(L, L)).

Talk 2. Ritvik Ramkumar, Pure Mathematics Department, University of Waterloo

Starting at 3:30 pm

“The Hodge Theorem: Part II

We will start by reviewing the last few minutes of the first talk and then give a sketch of the proof of the Hodge Theorem.
