  • 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 …

  • Dec. 8, 2020, 4:15 p.m.
    Maciej Markiewicz (MIMUW)
    Torres formula for multivariable link signature
    Multivariable Levine-Tristram signature is an invariant of links introduced by D.Cimasoni and V.Florens in their 2005 paper. It is a function from the m-th power of the unit complex circle with 1 removed to integers. …

  • Dec. 1, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Marcin Wrochna (Oxford)
    An algorithmist's journey through topology
    An important part of algorithmics is devoted to studying the problem of satisfying systems of constraints – or, equivalently – finding homomorphisms between finite structures such as graphs. I will present several new applications of …

  • Nov. 24, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Stanisław Betley (MIMUW)
    Lifting functors from F to P
    https://www.mimuw.edu.pl/~aweber/STA/20.11.24.pdf

  • Nov. 17, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Richárd Rimányi (UNC Chapel Hill)
    Mirror symmetry in Schubert calculus
    In Schubert calculus we study the cohomology ring of Grassmannians and other geometrically relevant spaces, together with their distinguished bases of Schubert classes. Recent developments include: (a) generalizing the cohomology theory to K theory and …

  • Nov. 10, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Tomasz Maszczyk (MIMUW)
    Homotopy *Creatio Ex Nihilo*
    We realize the Pareigis Hopf algebra, which encodes the monoidal structure of the category of complexes (via the Pareigis transform which is the identity on objects), as a universal quantum symmetry of the algebra of …

  • Nov. 3, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Wojciech Politarczyk (UW)
    Linking forms of higher branched covers of knots
    It is a common practice in knot theory to study knots in terms of branched coverings of the three-sphere branched along the knot in question. In particular, one can use the linking form of the …

  • March 11, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Andrzej Szczepański (UG)
    Płaskie rozmaitości z reprezentacją holonomii typu kwaternionowego
    Podam przykład płaskiej rozmatości wymiaru 48, której reprezentacja holonomii ma wlasność taką że jej wszytkie R-nieprzywiedlne skladniki są typu kwaternionowego. Wszystkie powyższe pojecia zostaną zdefiniowane i omówione na początku wykładu. Metody - analiza 2-group niskiego …

  • March 4, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Wojciech Politarczyk (UW)
    Casson-Gordon invariants and knot concordance

  • Feb. 26, 2020, 4:30 p.m.
    Stefan Jackowski (UW)
    Kwadraty Steenroda à la Mike Hopkins

  • Jan. 22, 2020, 4:15 p.m.
    Joachim Jelisiejew (MIM UW)
    Moduli spaces and algebraic K-theory

  • Jan. 8, 2020, 4:15 p.m.
    Piotra Suwary (MIT)
    Floer Homology via Semi-Infinite Dimensional Cycles
    The basic idea behind Floer homology is to define homology groups of a functional on an infinite-dimensional space by mimicking the construction of Morse homology for finite dimensional manifolds. Various flavors of Floer homology have …

  • Dec. 11, 2019, 4:15 p.m.
    Piotr Nowak (IMPAN)
    T) dla grup automorfizmów grup wolnyc (Własność)
    Celem wykładu będzie udowodnienie twierdzenia o tym, że Aut(F_n), grupa automorfizmów grupy wolnej na n generatorach, ma własność (T) Kazhdana dla n>4. Własność (T) dla grupy G jest równoważna znikaniu kohomologii H^1(G,\pi) o współczynnikach w …
