“Counting cubic fields with bounded discriminant”

In this talk, I will present the recent work of establishing the secondary terms of counting functions of cubic number fields or cubic function fields with bounded

“Grassmannian structure and oriented bundles”

We will begin by creating a CW-complex structure for the infinite Grassmannian manifold, which will make computation of the cohomology classes easier.

“Ergodic theory for quantum (semi)groups”

We shall describe a generalization of recent work on aspects of ergodic theory of semigroup actions on von Neumann algebras to the context of quantum semigroups.

“Introduction to Tensor Products”

Alex Berenbeim will finish his talk from last week and then we introduce the basics of tensor products.

“Complex vector bundles and the Chern classes”

With a sizable inventory of definitions and theorems having been established, we will now be able to introduce Chern classes, the first characteristic classes to be associated to complex vector bundles.
