Colloquium
Time: 15:30
Speaker: Mircea Mustata (University of Michigan)
Title: "Invariants of singularities in positive characteristic"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: Given a polynomial with integer coefficients, one can define invariants of singularities by either considering the polynomial over the complex numbers, or by taking reduction modulo prime integers, and using the Frobenius morphism. I will describe these invariants, and I will discuss some known and conjectural relations between them.
