Caltech/USC Algebra & Geometry Seminar |
---|
Welcome to the homepage of the joint algebra and geometry seminar at California Institute of Technology and University of Southern California! We meet approximately every two weeks on Thursday afternoons, alternating between the two campuses. Each meeting consists of two one-hour talks followed by a seminar dinner. Topics at our seminar include but are not limited to algebra, representation theory, algebraic geometry, mirror symmetry, and mathematical physics.

Wall crossing for moduli of stable pairsAbstract. Hassett showed that there are natural reduction morphisms between moduli spaces of weighted pointed stable curves when we reduce weights. I will discuss some joint work with Ziquan Zhuang which constructs similar morphisms between moduli of stable pairs in higher dimension. |
