Noncommutative Geometry
Time: 14:00
Speaker: Enxin Wu (Western)
Title: "Chern Classes for Hermitian Holomorphic Vector Bundles"
Room: MC 106

Abstract: This is Shiing-Shen Chern's original work on Chern classes. In this talk, we will discuss three things: 1. Any complex vector bundle has a Hermitian structure. 2. Due to the Hermitian holomorphic structure, the formulas for the canonical connection and its curvature are very simple and easy to calculate. 3. More examples of Chern classes will be computed through Chern-Weil's theory.

Analysis Seminar
Time: 15:30
Speaker: Rasul Shafikov (Western)
Title: "Holomorphic mappings in $\mathbb C^n$: I. Boundary regularity."
Room: MC 108

Abstract: In this survey talk I will give an overview of various results and approaches to the boundary regularity problem of holomorphic mappings between domains in $\mathbb C^n$.

Pizza Seminar
Time: 17:00
Speaker: Ajnit Dhillon (Western)
Title: "Remote coin tossing"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: Judy and Andrew are going through a bitter divorce. They live thousands of miles apart. They wish to toss a coin over the phone to see who will keep the car. How can they do this without anyone cheating?
