Utah Algebraic Geometry Preprint Seminar (Fall 2022)
This is the website for the Utah AG preprint seminar, organized by Daniel Bragg and Christopher Hacon. This is a weekly reading seminar on recent (~<2 years old) preprints in algebraic geometry. Each week a speaker will choose a paper to present (not written by themselves).
If you would like to be added to the seminar mailing list, send an email to Daniel.
If you would like to be a speaker, email Daniel with your desired time slot and paper. See the schedule below for open times. If you would like to talk but don't have a paper in mind, the organizers will be happy to suggest a paper.
The seminar is scheduled to meet 3:30-4:30pm Wednesdays in LCB 323.
