Transformation Groups Seminar
Time: 10:30
Speaker: Kumar Shukla (Western) Title: "Applications of Localization Formula" Room: MC 204 Abstract: We will go over some applications of the Atiyah-Bott localization formula. We will evaluate the integral of the volume form of S2 as a sum over the fixed point set of the rotation action of S1 on S2. A more non-trivial application will be in the enumerative problem of counting number of lines in a cubic surface in CP3. We will explain why this problem is well-posed and then compute the number using Atiyah-Bott formula. | |
