During the 2023–24 academic year, the CMSA will be hosting a seminar on Algebraic Geometry in String Theory, organized by Chuck Doran and Iacopo Brivio. During Spring 2024, this seminar will take place on Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 am (Eastern Time). There will be a pre-seminar from 10:00–10:30 am. The meetings will take place in Room G10 at the CMSA, 20 Garden Street, Cambridge MA 02138, and some meetings will take place virtually on Zoom or be held in hybrid formats.
