Algebra/Topology Seminar – Fraser Binns (Boston College)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Some Link Detection ResultsAbstract: A central question in low dimensional topology is; how can we distinguish links? In this talk I will discuss various classical invariants which can help us do so, as well as the stronger invariant Knot Floer homology and, time permitting, annular Khovanov homology. Indeed, we will see that these latter

230 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, AL, United StatesSymplectic topology of Brieskorn singularities – Cagri Karakurt (Bogazici University)
ZoomAbstract: Cagri will talk about some symplectic/contact topological aspects of Brieskorn singularities $x^p+y^q+z^r=0$. He’ll tell how to draw the surgery diagrams of their canonical contact structures and prove that the Milnor fiber $M(p,q,r)$ symplectically embeds into $M(p’,q’,r’)$ whenever $p\leq p’$, $q\leq q’$, and $r\leq r’$ by explicitly constructing a Stein cobordism between corresponding canonical contact

Algebra/Topology Seminar – Kyoung-Seog Lee (University of Miami)
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Geometry of algebraic surfaces via their Cox rings Abstract: Cox ring is an important tool in modern algebraic geometry and several other branches of mathematics. In the first part of this talk, I will briefly review basic theory of Cox ring and explain how it connects birational geometry and geometric invariant theory. Then I
Algebra-Topology Seminar – Dr. Kyoung-Seog Lee ( University of Miami )
346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Geometry of algebraic surfaces via combinatorics of cones Abstract: Effective, nef, semiample cones of projective manifolds are fundamental tools in algebraic geometry. They tell us about the geometry of projective manifolds and there are lots of studies about them. However, we still do not know much about these invariants of projective manifolds of general

Title: Heat extensions of doubling weights and A_infty A_infty weights play a fundamental role in weighted inequalities for operators used in harmonic analysis. It is known that if w is an A_infty weight then log w in the space of bounded mean oscillation (BMO) and the converse is `almost’ true (up to taking a

346 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Fractals and Syzygies Abstract: Syzygies are objects invented and utilized by David Hilbert in 1890 to study relations among polynomial equations, and have played a big role in the development of modern algebraic geometry. The quest to understand patterns of syzygies is both challenging and interesting, and sometimes reveals unexpected connections to other branches
