Student seminar Differential Geometry and Mathematical Physics (Summer 2018)

  • The available topics will be presented at the introductory meeting on Tuesday April 24 at 14:15 in MA 874/875.
  • The assignment of topics will be on Wednesday May 2 at 14:15 in MA 874/875.

This is a block seminar. Each student has to give a 45 minute talk at the end of the semester. Each student has to attend at least 10 talks.
