Seminar on Stacks, Groupoids and Algebras
Organizer: jmorton9(at)uwo(dot)ca
The organizing theme of this seminar is to examine some modern ways of looking at spaces with symmetry, including stacks (algebraic geometry, homotopy theory), Lie groupoids (differential geometry), and C*-algebras (noncommutative geometry).
By default, the seminar is at 11:30 on Fridays.
