About this event
Location: 11th Floor Lecture Hall Speaker Gavin Pettigrew, University of California San Diego Abstract "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong." This phrase is applicable to numerous areas of life, including algebraic geometry! In this talk, we introduce and discuss the relationship between two notions of Murphy's law, one concerning the singularities on an algebraic variety and another concerning the stabilizer groups of an algebraic stack.
