Dates: July 26-28, 2016
Venue: JGU Mainz, Hilbertraum
Speakers:
Abolfazl Mohajer
Ariyan Javanpeykar
Carsten Liese
Davide Veniani
Helge Ruddat
Peter Overholser
Robert Wilms
Simon Felten
Timo Riske
Tom Sutherland
Goal and material:
A goal is that after this course each of us is familiar with intersection theory as covered by Fulton's book (reference a). We want to know what is dealt with in the book and what the mathematical tools presented are useful for and how they work and interact, so that whenever needed in the future, details can be looked up quickly. The focus of our course is on the big picture and crucial corner stones, on breadth and road map rather than depth and detail.
