  • EDGE Seminar: Elliot Gathercole (University of Lancaster) - Superheavy subsets from singular divisors

    January 28, 2026  10:50 am - 11:50 am
    Bayes 5.46

    Abstract: A complex Fano projective variety M (for example, projective space) is canonically a monotone symplectic manifold. Given an effective anticanonical divisor D, we obtain a distinguished (and symplectically, very special) subset L, the skeleton, onto which the complement M-D retracts, and an increasing family of compact neighbourhoods of L which exhaust M-D.

    In a symplectic manifold,…

  • Algebra Seminar: Élie Casbi (Northeastern University) - Triangulated monoidal categorifications of finite type cluster algebras

    February 4, 2026  9:30 am - 10:30 am
    Bayes 5.46

    We propose a new framework of monoidal categorifications of finite ADE types cluster algebras involving triangulated categories instead of abelian categories. Let Q be any Dynkin quiver and let A_Q denote the corresponding finite type cluster algebra (with a suitable choice of frozen variables). We define a certain additive symmetric monoidal category out of the Auslander-Reiten theory of Q and consider its (bounded) homotopy category K_Q. Using some iterated mapping cone technique, we construct a family of chain complexes in bijection with almost positive roots that are characterized by natural exactness conditions. We then prove that the Euler charasteristics of the chain complex associated to any positive root β coincides with the truncated q-character of the simple module categorifying the cluster variable x[β] in A_Q via Hernandez-Leclerc’s monoidal categorification. We also conjecture that all exchange relations in A_Q are categorified by distinguished triangles in K_Q. If time allows, we will discuss potential extensions of this construction to other cluster structures.

  • EDGE Seminar: Nick Rekuski (University of Liverpool) - Higher Bogomolov inequalities via higher rank Brill-Noether theory

    February 4, 2026  10:50 am - 11:50 am
    Bayes 5.46

    Understanding when stable vector bundles with fixed topological invariants exist---or fail to exist---is a longstanding and difficult problem. While there are many topological obstructions, algebraic ones are rarer: beyond the classical Bogomolov inequality, which gives a quadratic bound in terms of the rank and the first two Chern characters, few general tools are available. In higher dimensions, one expects…
