February 2 Matthew Satriano Colloquium

Event

When: Thursday February 2, 3:30pm

Where: Arts 217

Speaker: Matthew Satriano, University of Waterloo

Title: Stacky Resolutions, Invariant Theory, and Hodge Theory

Abstract: No prior knowledge of stacks will be assumed for this talk. We discuss a class of singular varieties that have canonical ``resolutions of singularities'' by smooth stacks. We explain what is known about the existence of such stacky resolutions, and give applications to invariant theory and Hodge theory.
