Manchester Geometry Seminar 2005/2006.

There is an accompanying postgraduate seminar: Geometry and Mathematical Physics

Notice also: Buchstaber's lectures

We meet about 3.45 to collect tea, then take it to the seminar room, where there will be biscuits. Each lecture begins at 4pm. Visit the main page to find more information about the seminar, in particular, programmes of talks for previous years.
