ANAGRAMS

Student seminar

Weighted projective spaces

We will discuss weighted projective spaces (and weighted projective varieties), and their relationship to stacks.

See also the description page for more information.

What?: ANAGRAMS is an acronym for Antwerp Algebraic Geometry, Rings and More Seminar.; As the silly name indicates, it is a (graduate student) seminar on topics related to the research areas that the algebra and geometry group of the University of Antwerp (and Brussels, and Hasselt) specialises in: noncommutative algebra, algebraic geometry, noncommutative geometry, quadratic forms, ...; The goal is to learn things, not present new results.
Where?: Room G.006, Campus Middelheim, University of Antwerp
When?: Wednesday afternoons, at 13h00.
Who?: The lectures are given by PhD students (or postdocs). The intended audience consists of interested Master and PhD students and postdocs.
How?: Each session of talks takes 2 hours (this is not set in stone). One person gives a 2-hour talk, there could be two 1-hour talks, or several short talks, depending on the subject. Talks are done in English.; The seminar will mostly consist of series of lectures on a single subject. The actual number may vary depending on the subject.
