We plan to meet weekly.
Location: BA6180
Time: (Usually) Tuesday 2 - 3:30
Organizer: More' (m.porzio@utoronto.ca) and Simon (shuofeng.xu@mail.utoronto.ca)
If you would like to give a talk, please take a look at the schedule and send an email to More' and Simon.
The intended audience are algebra-oriented graduate students; we welcome contributions from anyone as long as the talk is fairly accessible to the intended audience.
Priority for speaking slots will be given to graduate students and postdocs.
The speaker may choose between two styles:
Present part of their research on which they are "stuck on" and would like to hear suggestions and/or brainstorm ideas
Present a paper they've been meaning to read, using this seminar
The speaker should aim at giving a one hour presentation followed by open discussion. We have the room booked until 4 pm so the ending time is somewhat flexible.
Most annoucements will be made via the mailing list.
If you would like to be on the mailing list, or be taken off the mailing list, please send an email to More' and Simon.
May 6th (Special date: note this is a Wednesday) Michael Groechenig -- The McKay correspondence
Abstract: It is by now widespread knowledge that the McKay correspondence predicts that all crepant resolutions of a given singular variety have equivalent derived categories of coherent sheaves. Interestingly, this viewpoint doesn't appear in the original paper by McKay at all. This talk will be an introduction to the actual McKay correspondence, which doesn't feature derived categories, but rather finite subgroups of SO(3) or SU(2) and extended Dynkin diagrams of type ADE.
