The meeting time of the seminar in Spring 2022 is 5:30p on Thursdays in Hill 705. The goal is to foster a sense of community within the algebraists (loosely defined) at Rutgers and to augment the standard algebra curriculum with topics best tackled with postdoctoral supervision.
The current organizer of the seminar is me, Ian Coley, with talks given by graduate students each week. The topic for Fall 2021 was algebraic K-theory. The topic for Spring 2022 is motivic cohomology and homotopy theory. We will be following Aravind Asok's notes found here with some supplementary material TBD.
