Topic: 

Group actions on cohomology of varieties

Description: 

Abstract

 

This talk will explore a technique of using equivariant cohomology to say something about the action of a group on the cohomology of a space. In particular, we will look at examples of cohomology of flag varieties and configuration spaces. Also, we will look at a family of algebras with an algebro-geometric interpretation that admits an S_n action, and use the results we developed to make progress toward a  result about these algebras.
