Global Kuranishi charts seminar

This is an in-person seminar, taking place Tuesdays at 11:00 in Ross 70 (April–June 2026). The organizers are Keren and Arye.

The goal is to study Complex cobordism, Hamiltonian loops and global Kuranishi charts (by Abouzaid, McLean, Smith).
The format is a reading seminar; each week a speaker will prepare and present a few pages from the paper.
