Noncommutative Geometry

Time: 11:30
Room: MC 108
Speaker: (Western)
Title: Double matrix integrals

 

Homotopy Theory

Time: 13:30
Room: MC 107
Speaker: Andres Felipe Fontalvo Orozco (Western)

Geometry and Combinatorics

Time: 16:00
Room: MC 108
Speaker: Ahmed Ashraf (Western)
Title: The orbit cone correspondence

We will study the orbits of T-action on the toric variety X defined by a fan. The main aim is to show the orbits are in bijective correspondence with the cones in the fan defining X.
