Seminar
​
Interactions between symplectic geometry, combinatorics and number theory (14722.0073)
​
or
​
The "ColMar" Interactions
​
​
The seminar "Interactions" joins the teams of two universities: that of Cologne, and that of Marburg, therefore the name "ColMar** Interactions". The goal is to explain some very recent developments in the field of equivariant topology and equivariant symplectic geometry.
​
The organisers are:
​
Oliver Goertsches (goertsch@mathematik.uni-marburg.de)
Panagiotis Konstantis (pako@mathematik.uni-marburg.de)
myself (sabatini@math.uni-koeln.de)
​
​
The talks will be on Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM Cologne time (CEST). See below for the list of the available Fridays.
​
Every talk will be streamed on Zoom and, if the speaker is "local", the talks will be held in person.

** It is also worth noticing that in Italian "colmare" means "to bridge", and we like bridges, because they allow interactions...
