Oberseminar Algebra und Geometrie

Wintersemester 2019/2020: Intersection Theory

Organised by I. Halupczok, B. Klopsch, S. Schröer and M. Zibrowius.

All talks take place Fridays at 12:30 in 25.22.03.73.

Description

The aim of the seminar is to complement Jens Hornbostel's GRK lectures on Chow rings (and other topics) with concrete calculations and applications. As such, all talks will concentrate on examples rather than general theory.
