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.
