Program

The structure of this program is based on a series of meetings among the entire academic year, with the aim of offering not only an important background about the subject, but also an opportunity to receive updates to the current situation of the research activities related to tensor decomposition, secant varieties and other topics in algebraic geometry. Moreover, it represents an occasion to share and exchange ideas with experts in specific research areas and also with young researchers at the beginning of their academic career. 

The meetings are usually planned to take place every three weeks between Dipartimento di Matematica e Informatica "Ulisse Dini" of University of Florence and Dipartimento di Matematica of University of Bologna. The duration is typically one hour.

There are two main activities. One concern a cycle of seminars held by several researchers in algebraic geometry. The other concerns a reading course on quantum computing. 

The participant group involves members affiliated to several institutions, which are Marche Polytechnic University, Polytechnic University of Milan, Polytechnic University of Turin, University of Bologna, University of Ferrara, University of Florence, University of Milan, University of Modena and Reggio-Emilia, University of Siena, University of Trento.

Seminars

The idea of providing a cycle of meeting related to specific subjects related to tensors and secant varieties has been repeated every academic year from 2014, when the first edition took place through the program Geometria Algebrica Numerica. Among the several editions, the program has seen the participation of several professors and young researchers. In addition to the main members of the research groups by each institution, which continue to hold seminars regularly, there has also been participation of many other experts in algebraic geometry from other institutions in the world, which have occasionally offered to present their contribute and their more recent results.
