More about algebraic geometry
Connected areas
Algebraic geometry in the department has strong connections to:
- Algebraic topology
- Symplectic geometry
- Algebraic number theory
- Quantum field theory
- String theory
Seminars
- Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry Seminar
- Several seminars in neighboring fields, such as the:
- Differential Geometry/Symplectic Topology Seminar
- Topology Seminar
- Lie Theory Seminar
- Occasional ad-hoc seminars — such as the recent Geometric Methods in Langlands Program Seminar and Condensed Mathematics Seminar — which are dedicated to hot topics deeply related to algebraic geometry.
