Pranav and I are organizing an informal reading seminar. We will meet Mondays 4-5:30 in Evans 961.
The format of the seminar will be a little unconventional: we expect participants to do the necessary reading before each meeting, and a discussion leader will guide us through working out examples/exercises during the session. Email me if you'd like to lead a discussion! We will begin by reading from Mircea Mustațǎ's notes: D-modules and Singularities. All reading will be from there.
Update: 10/26: We are shifting sources to follow these lectures: https://mathematical-research-institute.sydney.edu.au/d-modules-and-representation-theory/.
