Graduate Student Seminars
Graduate Student Seminars
- 1-2-3 Seminar is a place where students can talk about topics near and dear to ourselves, geared towards engaging audiences that are graduate students across different fields. The format of each talk will be three examples in increasing complexity (1-2-3), presented with an emphasis on quality and engagement. For the year 2022-2023, the 1-2-3 Seminar is organized by Leo Mayer and Haoming Ning. If you would like the opportunity to present, please contact us!
- Student Algebraic Geometry Seminar The goal of this seminar is to foster engagement with modern research in algebraic geometry (broadly interpreted) and provide a forum for graduate students to present and discuss aspects of their work and readings. The seminar will also feature some talks by faculty in the department. If you would like to give a talk or have any questions, please contact Daniel Rostamloo.
- Student Algebra and Representation Theory Seminar is a learning seminar with an emphasis on making topics in algebra accessible. We meet every week to discuss representation theory, noncommutative algebra, and applications to geometry, topology, combinatorics, and physics. Contact the organizer Justin Bloom for more information or if you'd like to give a talk.
- Back-To-School Seminar. Over the summer the graduate students have learned many new and interesting topics, whether it be at a conference, at a summer school, through a reading course, or just on their own. The Back-To-School seminar is a place where we can share what we have learned with our fellow graduate students. The seminar is aimed at all of the graduate students, not just experts in your discipline, and so the talks should be widely accessible. Talks are of 50 minute length, with 10 minutes for questions afterwards.
- Combinatorial Algebraic Geometry Seminar is a weekly research seminar co-organized by Cameron Wright and Andrew Tawfeek. Seminars run weekly on Fridays in Thomson Hall (THO) 325 from 10:30AM to 11:50AM. Talks often are 50-minutes in length, with the remaining 30-minutes used for discussion.
- DubTop Seminar is a weekly seminar where graduate students collectively do a deep dive into a topic in algebraic topology. Each quarter has a different focus. For autumn 2023, our chosen topic is the Steenrod Algebra and Cohomology Operations, and we meet weekly on Fridays in PDL C38 from 2:30pm to 3:30pm. This seminar is organized by Alex Waugh.
- Geometry and Dynamics Seminar runs Thursdays during Winter quarter and is led by Albert Artiles.
- Graduate Student Analysis Seminar (GSAS) is a low-stakes forum organized by and for graduate students to share their interests and professional experiences in the field of mathematical analysis. Among its primary goals are (1) to provide a safe space for graduate students to expound their knowledge of special topics in analysis with minimal pressure and no judgement, and (2) to build community among those interested in analysis by providing them a forum in which to learn about their peers' research interests. Our Winter Quarter 2023 meetings will take place from 12:30 to 1:20 pm in Padelford C-401. Graduate students from all departments are welcomed! To receive announcements about upcoming talks and other GSS-sponsored events, please contact Ryan Bushling.
