Jarek Kędra (University of Aberdeen)
On quasimorphisms invariant under automorphisms
Quasimorphisms comprise a good function theory on groups and many groups admits an abundance of them. It was recently discovered by Brandenbursky and Marcinkowski that the free group on two generators admits a quasimorphism that …

Agnieszka Bodzenta (MIMUW)
Ringel duality
Quasi-hereditary algebras and, more generally, highest weight categories first appeared as categories of perverse sheaves on a stratified topological space. Another example is the category O of Bernstein-Bernstein-Gelfand. In the talk I will recall the …

Adam Przeździecki (SGGW)

Maria Yakerson (ETH Zürich)
Algebraic and hermitian K-theory in motivic homotopy theory
Algebraic K-theory space, as a motivic space, has a known geometric model given by (Z copies of) the infinite Grassmannian. In the new geometric model that we offer, the infinite Grassmannian is replaced by the …
April 27, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
László Fehér (Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest)
Plücker formulas and motivic classes of coincident root loci

April 20, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Akos Matszangosz (Renyi Institute (Budapeszt))
Cohomology rings of real flag manifolds
The cohomology ring of a complex (partial) flag manifold has two classical descriptions; a topological one (via characteristic classes) and a geometric one (via Schubert classes). Similar descriptions are well-known for real flag manifolds X …
April 13, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Tomasz Maszczyk (UW)
The Hochschild cohomology for abstract convexity and the Shannon entropy
The Shannon entropy was introduced as a statistical measure of the information loss but appears in other fields of mathematics as well. We will start from the survey of the Faddeev algebraic characterization theorem and …
March 30, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Denis Nardin (Regensburg)
Hermitian K-theory of rings
The theory of quadratic and symmetric bilinear forms over rings has traditionally been more developed when 2 is invertible in the ring. In this talk we will present a new approach allowing to put some …
March 23, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Tibor Macko (Slovak Academy of Sciences)
Cobordisms of quadratic chain complexes
A fundamental problem in surgery theory is to decide whether a given finite CW-complex X of dimension n>=5 satisfying Poincare duality is homotopy equivalent to a topological manifold. In the classical surgery theory due to …
March 16, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Bruno Stonek (IMPAN)
Tensors of Thom spectra with spaces: generalizing Mahowald's Thom isomorphism
The topological Hochschild homology (THH) of a commutative ring spectrum R can be expressed as a tensor with a circle. More generally, one can tensor R with any space X. In this talk we will …
March 9, 2021, 4:30 p.m.
Patryk Jaśniewski (UW)
Homological structure of the category of strict polynomial functors of prime degree p

Andrzej Szczepański (UG)
Combinatorial Hantzsche-Wendt group
Let n\in N. By a combinatorial Hantzsche-Wendt group we shall understand a finite presented group G_n = {x_1, ..., x_n | x_i^{-1} x_j^2 x_i x_j^2 \forall i\neq j}. During a talk I will present properties …
Jan. 19, 2021, 4:15 p.m.
Jörg Schürmann (Munster)
Equivariant) characteristic classes of singular toric varietie
In this survey talk, we discuss for singular toric varieties different (equivariant) characteristic classes like Chern, Todd, L and Hirzebruch classes, with applications to (weighted) lattice points counting and Euler-MacLaurin type formulae for lattice polytopes.
Dec. 22, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
Józef Przytycki (George Washington University)
What is new in skein modules of 3-manifolds? - Personal perspective.
Skein modules of 3-manifolds have had their renaissance in the last 5 years. It is to a great extend because of interest in them by theoretical physicists, in particular Edward Witten. I will discuss Witten …
Dec. 15, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
Krzysztof Ziemiański (MIMUW)
About directed spaces and braid groups
Precubical sets are important examples od directed space; they also play an important role in concurrency theory. The main goal of this talk is to show that the space of directed paths on the final …
