This seminar is aimed primarily at the graduate students, postdocs and faculty in the arithmetic geometry group. It will be comprised mainly of two types of talks:

1. Talks by graduate students presenting the questions they are thinking about in order to share their progress, as well as their doubts and confusions, with others in the group.

2. Short series of talks on articles that we would like to understand better. Suggestions most welcome!

Talks will typically run for 50 minutes. Suggestions by students, post-docs and faculty of talks that are both self-contained and of broad appeal are invited and strongly encouraged.

SIC-POVM seminar

There is an online SIC-POVM seminar that many of you might be interested in attending, which will touch on some of the topics we covered last semester, and a lot in addition I am sure, with talks delivered by the key players in the subject. Highly recommended.
