Reading seminar in algebraic geometry
Spring 2013. Derived categories in algebraic geometry.
This semester the reading seminar will study derived categories of coherent sheaves on algebraic varieties.
The seminar will consist of introductory talks by faculty followed by
talks by graduate students.
We will attempt to make the seminar
accessible to everyone.
The seminar will meet on Fridays at 2:40PM-3:45PM in LGRT 1634.
