Cluster structures on coordinate rings
This started as a learning seminar on cluster structures on coordinate rings of various algebraic varieties, before mutating into a research seminar on cluster algebras, braids, and link invariants. Here we will be uploading the notes and material for the seminar.
When? Mondays 9:00-10:30am Pacific = 11:00am-12:30pm CDMX = 12:00pm-1:30pm Eastern = 6:00-7:30pm Central Europe
Where? Online. Contact the organizers for the Zoom link and password.
References: Please find links to references for the learning part of the seminar in the preliminary plan.
Organized by Mikhail Gorsky and José Simental.
