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...
