“It is tradition for some of the speakers to give ‘pre-talks’ for graduate students, giving an introduction to the topics which will be covered in their main talks. “ has a strong teaching component for graduate students,” Lehmann said.

Saturday will also include a lunch break with boxed lunches and drinks. The speeches on both Saturday and Sunday will be broken up intermittently for coffee and snacks provided by the organization. with breakfast and continue through 1:30 p.m., featuring speeches from Mattias Jonsson of University of Michigan, Maria Angelica Cueto of Columbia University, and Daniel Greb of Universitat Duisburg-Essen. at Sichuan Gourmet in Brookline-two additions to the conference. The day will conclude with an academic job search panel from 5 to 6 p.m., organized by Alina Marian, followed by a conference banquet at 7:30 p.m. with speeches given by Aaron Bertram of the University of Utah, Melanie Wood of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Carolina Araujo of the Instituto Nacional de Matematica Pura e Aplicada, and June Huh of the Institute for Advanced Study. AGNES will then continue on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. It will pick up with a speech from Song Sun of Stony Brook University on algebraic geometry of limits of Kahler manifolds. on Friday in Devlin Hall 008, where the rest of the conference will be held. “We had more registrants than we expected, even though it was the first one.”ĪGNES will continue from 3:30 p.m.

“The interest in this mini-school was overwhelming,” Lehmann said. This feature of the conference is new and will include four additional teaching talks given by local researchers Ana-Maria Castravet of Northeastern University, Joe Harris of Harvard University, and Alina Marian and Emanuele Macri of Northeastern University. in Higgins 225 and starts with a graduate mini school. The event begins on Friday, March 20 from 10 a.m. “We have a great lineup of speakers and are very excited to hear what they have to say.” Usually the speakers come from a variety of locations and cover a broad range of topics,” Professor Lehmann said. The primary objective is to introduce graduate students to a broad spectrum of current research in algebraic geometry. BC, along with the University of Pennsylvania, Stony Brook University, Yale, Brown, UMass Amherst, MIT, and the University of Connecticut, has been involved in working to fulfill the goals of the conference. It was quite a bit of work, but it was successful, and we enjoyed it.”īC is one of six universities that rotate hosting the conference, which specializes in the area of algebraic geometry. “In 2013 … we had a chance to host AGNES at BC for the first time. “In recent years, the BC math department has expanded greatly the algebraic geometry group, which is recognized by the algebraic community and the National Science Foundation,” Chen said. The conference is funded by the National Science Foundation and BC.
#Agnes algebraic geometry series#
After the successful introduction of the Algebraic Geometry Northeastern Series (AGNES) in 2013, Boston College will once again host the biannual weekend workshop beginning March 20 under the organization of professor Brian Lehmann and Assistant Professors Dawei Chen and Maksym Fedorchuk of the mathematics department.
