"Contracting rays in NE(X) for horospherical X"
I will continue with section 3 of Brion’s paper “Variétés sphériques et théorie de Mori”. This time we will start to see how contracting extremal rays of NE(X) affects the coloured fan of X.
This seminar will be held jointly online and in person:

A basic Introduction to Higgs Bundles and Vafa-Witten Bundles, Part Two

"Elliptic Curves"
We switch our discussion to elliptic curves over finite fields. We prove Hasse’s bound and Weil conjecture, and we discuss more structures on elliptic curves over finite fields.

"Effectively closed sets - Part VI"
An effectively closed set (or $\Pi^0_1$ class) in Baire space $\omega^\omega$ is the set $[T]$ of infinite branches through a computable tree $T$. This semester in the computability seminar, we will be studying $\Pi^0_1$ classes from Cenzer \& Remmel's textbook. This week we will start proving an effective version of the perfect set theorem.
