Glasgow-Liverpool-Edinburgh-Newcastle (GLEN) algebraic geometry seminar.



The seminar follows the format of the COW seminar. We hold four meetings each year, rotating between the universities of Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Newcastle. We hope to attract interest from those sympathetic to algebraic geometry who are based at other institutions across Scotland and northern England.

Upcoming Meetings:
  • Newcastle, Wednesday 17th October 2012, Herschel building LT1. The poster for the meeting is here

    14.00 Vanya Cheltsov (Edinburgh) Cremona groups and the icosahedron.
