Graduate Algebraic Geometry Seminar Spring 2024
When: TBD
Where: TBD
Who: All undergraduate and graduate students interested in algebraic geometry, abstract algebra, commutative algebra, representation theory, and related fields are welcome to attend.
Why: The purpose of this seminar is to learn algebraic geometry and commutative algebra by giving and listening to talks in a informal setting. Sometimes people present an interesting paper they find. Other times people give a prep talk for the Algebraic Geometry Seminar. Other times people give a series of talks on a topic they have been studying in-depth. Regardless the goal of GAGS is to provide a supportive and inclusive place for all to learn more about algebraic geometry and commutative algebra.
How: If you want to get emails regarding time, place, and talk topics (which are often assigned quite last minute) add yourself to the gags mailing list: gags@g-groups.wisc.edu by sending an email to gags+subscribe@g-groups.wisc.edu. If you prefer (and are logged in under your wisc google account) the list registration page is here.
Organizers: John Cobb, Kevin Dao, Yu (Joey) Luo.
Feedback Form for Organizers: The form is anonymous. You can find it here.
Give a talk!
We need volunteers to give talks this semester. Beginning graduate students, e.g. first and second year students, are particularly encouraged to give a talk, since it's a great way to get your feet wet with the material. If you would like some talk ideas, see the wish list below and then the look at the list on the main page. It is also expected that people enrolled in Math 941: Seminar in Algebra must give a talk to get credit. Sign up information TBD.

Being an audience member
The goal of GAGS is to create a safe and comfortable space inclusive of all who wish to expand their knowledge of abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, representation theory, and commutative algebra. In order to promote such an environment in addition to the standard expectations of respect/kindness all participants are asked to following the following guidelines:
- Do not Speak for/over the speaker
- Ask questions appropriately
Talks
| Date | Speaker | Title | Abstract |
| TBD | Kevin Dao | Setting up GAGS + Mini Talk | Discussion on GAGS time, schedule, getting list of speakers, expectations for speakers and participation. Also a possible mini-talk is planned aimed towards students with one semester of algebraic geometry under their belt. |
