About the seminar

The seminar usually meets on Friday afternoon in Malott Hall, the home of the Cornell Department of Mathematics. We cover a wide variety of research topics related to Lie groups, including representation theory, Langlands theory, noncommutative algebra, equivariant topology, algebraic groups, and equivariant algebraic and symplectic geometry. Most of our speakers are guests from other institutions, but frequently we have talks by Cornell department members as well.
