Wed 8 Feb 2012 14:30 SISSA, room 136 Prof. Youjin Zhang (Tsinghua University) On the genus two free energies for semi-simple Frobenius manifolds
Abstract.
Tue 7 Feb 2012 16:00 SISSA, room 136 Matteo Tommasini (SISSA) Introduction to algebraic stack III (Deligne-Mumford stacks)

Abstract.
Fri 27 Jan 2012 16:00 SISSA, room 136 Prof. Igor Mencattini (USP-ICMC, São Carlos, Brazil) Cluster Algebras
Abstract. I will give a brief and elementary introduction to the theory of Cluster Algebras introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky. In the first part, after giving basic definitions and explained some examples I will discuss, in some details, the case of the so called Cluster algebras of finite type. In the second part I will make some connections between Cluster algebras and Poisson geometry.

Abstract.

Abstract.
Wed 25 Jan 2012 14:30 SISSA, room 136 Stefano Romano (SISSA) From Frobenius manifolds to integrable hierarchies: the Dubrovin-Zhang reconstruction procedure
Abstract.
Thu 19 Jan 2012 14:30 SISSA, room 137 Dr. Oliver Serman (Université de Lille I) Singularities of moduli spaces of principal bundles on curves
Abstract. Moduli spaces of principal bundles on curves carry a very rich geometry. In this talk I will focus on the singularities of these varieties. I will show how local factoriality of GIT quotients can be used to give a description of their singular locus, and then compute the fundamental group of the smooth locus of these moduli spaces.

Abstract.
Wed 11 Jan 2012 16:00 SISSA, room 136 Prof. Ugo Bruzzo (SISSA) Hypersurfaces in toric varieties
Abstract.
Wed 11 Jan 2012 14:30 SISSA, room 136 Emanuele Parodi (SISSA) Poisson brackets and Jacobi brackets in finite dimension
