STARTING SHORTLY: Invitation to an ICTP Maths Colloquium by Prof. Carolina Araujo on "Algebraic Geometry: History, Applications, and Current Trends" TODAY, at 16:30 hrs

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

You are most cordially invited to a special ICTP Maths Colloquium by 
Professor Carolina Araujo on "Algebraic Geometry: History, Applications, 
and Current Trends", to take place *TODAY in EULER Lecture Hall, at 16:30.
*

Prof. Araujo is a researcher at the Institute for Pure and Applied 
Mathematics (IMPA) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she is the only 
woman on the permanent research staff. She specializes in algebraic 
geometry, including birational geometry and foliations. Prof. Araujo has 
been a Simons Associate with ICTP since 2015, and is the Vice-President 
of the Committee for Women in Mathematics at the International 
Mathematical Union.

The talk focuses on how algebraic geometry studies geometric objects as 
defined by polynomials. These objects occur in many fields outside of 
mathematics, and exploring their properties has implications in multiple 
fields. Prof. Araujo will discuss the interdisciplinary possibilities of 
algebraic geometry, outline recent developments, and introduce the 
field's overarching problems.

More information is available at http://indico.ictp.it/event/8959/

Light refreshments will be served afterwards on the Leonardo Building 
Terrace.

You are all very warmly invited to attend.

Office of the Director, ICTP
