Graduate seminar on quiver varieties, Spring 2015

The MIT-NEU grad student Representation theory seminar is back again, and this is not a joke!!! This semester we are discussing various things somehow related to Nakajima quiver varieties (please, don't bring arrows to the seminar).

Running approximately once per week on Tuesdays alternating between MIT and Northeastern:

MIT, 56-154, 5-8pm w. pizza break.

NEU, 509 LA, 5-7.20pm w. pizza break.

The first meeting will be at MIT, Feb 3.

Organized by Pavel Etingof (still the Boss) and Ivan Losev.

The seminar will consist of four parts:

1) February: preparation to lectures by Raphael Rouquier (UCLA), on Feb 23-27. Webpage.

2) March: preparation to lectures by Andrei Okounkov (Columbia), on Mar 16-20. Webpage.

3) Some discussions. Details TBA.

4) May: Preparation for lectures by Dmitry Kaledin (Steklov Institute), on May 11-16. Followed by an active participation in this event.

Preparation to Rouquier's lectures.
