During the Spring 2018 Semester Artan Sheshmani (QGM/CMSA) will be teaching a CMSA special lecture series on Quantum Cohomology, Nakajima Vareties and Quantum groups. The lectures will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning January 25th, from 1:00 to 3:00pm in room G10, CMSA Building.
You can watch Prof. Sheshmani describe the series here.
