Topology Seminar: Benjamin Antieau

  • Date: 03/19/2014
  • Time: 15:15
Lecturer(s):
Benjamin Antieau (University of Washington)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Algebraic topology and algebraic torsors

Description: 

I will discuss some types of problems where techniques from algebraic topology have led to successful resolutions of open problems in algebraic geometry. Then, I will outline several future directions where better knowledge of the topology of classifying spaces of compact Lie groups could lead to more results in algebra.
