Webinars

In 2020 the VBAC group launched a series of Webinars due to the pandemic situation. Due to the success of the series it was decided to continue it in the 2022-23 academic year with 4-5 webinars, starting in late September.

The first VBAC webinar was A tribute to C. S. Seshadri organised in September 2020.

Cohomology of character varieties — 26 September 2022

14:00 - 14:45  Marina Logares (UCM, Madrid): From e-polynomials to TQFTs

Abstract: Mathematics have always served Physics along history of science, not only as a language but as a source of ideas. The very same is true about Physics as a source of inspiration for mathematical discoveries. The aim of this talk is to show how certain algebro-topological invariants, e-polynomials, of a G-character variety serve to construct a TQFT and, moreover, how this development allows to easily explore more general settings for G-character varieties, such as those related with singular curves.

15:00 - 15:45  Azizeh Nozad (IPM, Iran): TBA

Abstract: TBA.
