Joint NU/UIC/UofC algebra & geometry seminar

Welcome to our joint seminar between Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Illinois at Chicago. Our goal is to create an informal online seminar that fosters the participation of early career mathematicians (especially graduate students) in algebraic geometry, commutative algebra and related areas. As such, we will try to invite speakers who are also early career mathematicians (but this will not always be the case). Additionally, we will attempt to strike a balance between talks in algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. We hope that mathematicians from both groups (and related areas) will benefit from these interactions.

This will be a Zoom seminar, and to get access you have to be on our mailing list. A zoom link for each week's talk will be emailed to you along with the abstract on a weekly basis once you are on our list. To be added, please email any (or all) of the organizers:

Rankeya Datta: rankeya [at] uic.edu;

Antoni Rangachev: rangachev [at] math.uchicago.edu;

Charles Stibitz: charles.stibitz [at] northwestern.edu.

Our talks are tentatively scheduled for Wednesdays at 3:00pm CDT (GMT-5). The days and times may occasionally change when we have international speakers. If there is a change in day or time, it will be mentioned in a different color on the schedule below to make it more visible. Please check the time for each talk on this page or in the weekly email you will receive.
