2016 Intercity Geometry Seminar

The spring 2016 Intercity Geometry Seminar will be held around Hodge isometries between K3 surfaces, following a recent preprint of Nikolay Buskin. Announcements will be sent out via the am-l mailing list. Below is a preliminary program, which can still be adjusted as we progress through the seminar. If you want to volunteer a presentation, please contact Lenny Taelman.
