Lecturer(s):
Arturo Pianzola (University of Alberta)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
One of the most recurrent themes in Geometry, is the study of objects
that locally look the same. I will explain, mainly via examples and in
non-technical terms, how the concept of 'locally look the same' has
evolved through time (mostly through some beautiful ideas of Serre and
of Grothendieck).
