  • Saturday 3/27, 10.00: Jérôme Scherer: On Dehon and Lannes’s work maps out of classifying space of tori
    This is the first in a series of three talks where we want to study their paper and a preprint by Dehon.

    Second in the series
  • Tuesday 3/30, 10.00: Tilman Bauer, Unstable K(n)-modules
  • Tuesday 3/30, 11.30: Martin Bendersky, The unstable chromatic spectral sequence
    Abstract: The (stable) chromatic spectral sequence has had a significant impact on our understanding of the stable homotopy groups of the spheres. I will talk about preliminary attempts to construct an unstable version. I will try to describe a filtration of the stable chromatic spectral sequence induced by the Hopf rings for the odd spheres. There are natural questions that arise in the unstable world (e.g. an unstable version of the Morava stabilizer algebra) and a chromatic interpretation of the Hopf invariant.
  • Wednesday 3/31, 10.00: Dietrich Notbohm or Jesper Grodal: On Dehon’s work about complex cobordism and maps out of classifying spaces
    Third and last in the series
