Colloquium: Tuesday, May 24, 2022. Speaker: Uzi Vishne (Bar-Ilan). Title: “Inclusion-exclusion, partial representations of semigroups, and nonassociative polynomials”.

You are also welcome to join us on Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83337601824 Time: 14:00 Abstract: The dimension of the space of multilinear products of higher commutators is equal to the number of derangements, $[e^{-1}n!]$. Our search for a combinatorial explanation for this…

U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar: Sunday, May 22, 2022. Speaker: Andrew Salch (Wayne State). Title: “Stable homotopy groups and special values of L-functions”.

Time: 17:00 (Israel Time) Location: On Zoom Recording: https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/2p8IC8Cg-VEwNlgsDG_sQJRv-tPbLizEwXxI1DFuCzYujlmGkGa7ndhiUdxxLD9-.quz6ubBm7uCXOi-0 Abstract.  In this talk, I will survey the known relationships between stable homotopy groups of Bousfield localizations of finite spectra and special values of L-functions. Given a p-local finite spectrum X,…

U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar: Sunday, May 8, 2022. Speaker: Sourav Das (Haifa). Title: “Title:  Higgs bundles on nodal curves”.

Time: 17:00 (Israel Time) Location: On Zoom Recording: https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/u3nIzULAEKHfZe3iCm0KZxftqdZ0Pzcjd0EGV3ipl6eZ_I_IOGMzzsCYk42k5sXJ.8zyeCrlu8P3ySdxb Abstract. In I987 Nigel Hitchin proved that the moduli space of Higgs bundles on a smooth projective curve (of genus greater than equal to 2) has a natural symplectic structure. In…

U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar: Sunday, May 1, 2022. Speaker: Dimitri Ara (Marseilles). Title: “Comparison of three nerve functors for strict n-categories”.

Time: 17:00 (Israel Time) Location: On Zoom Abstract: The nerve functor from categories to simplicial sets allows to associate toany small category a homotopy type giving rise to a homotopy theory of smallcategories studied by Quillen, Thomason and Grothendieck. To…

U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar: Sunday, Apr. 24, 2022. Speaker: Surojit Ghosh (IIT Roorkee). Title: “Slice Filtration of E”.

Time: 17:00 (Israel Time) Location: On Zoom Recording: https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/hgnju1bKL_ueL3VYdTVbsd1yvB737rHJxu7HK2UyAien-F4CgUYMa2iWYxL_7sHL.Yn8cQ8p8qmFdUK0e Abstract. The slice filtration is an equivariant analogue of the Postnikov tower and it is modeled on Voevodsky’s motivic filtration. I will begin by recalling the definition of slice filtration along…

U. Haifa Topology & Geometry seminar: Sunday, Apr. 3, 2022. Speaker: Sanjeevi Krishnan (Ohio State University). Title: “A Kan Condition for Directed Homotopy”.

Time: 17:00 (Israel Time) Location: On Zoom Abstract.The Kan condition guarantees that a simplicial set, a formal colimit of abstract simplices, models enough features of a topological space so that classical homotopy theory can be given a completely combinatorial description. …
