Homotopy Theory
Time: 13:30
Speaker: Jason Brennan (Western)
Title: "POSTPONED: Impartial Game Theory in Coq"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: I will provide a brief introduction to impartial game theory consisting of examples of games as well as elementary operations on them. This will be followed by a presentation of their syntactic counterparts in Coq, culminating in formal proofs of several basic theorems.

Geometry and Combinatorics
Time: 15:00
Speaker: Matthias Franz (Western)
Title: "Non-equivariant cohomology of smooth toric varieties"
Room: MC 108

Abstract: Having studied the equivariant cohomology of smooth toric varieties, we will see to what extent it determines the non-equivariant cohomology. In the equivariantly formal case, one gets the Jurkiewicz-Danilov theorem (with integer coefficients). In general, a complete answer is only known for rational coefficients.
