Welcome to the ISU Geometry Seminar home page
The Geometry Seminar meets on Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. Talks are in the Math Department conference room (317 PSB) unless otherwised noted. This semester we are reading the book "Introduction to Mobius Differential Geometry" by Udo Hertrich-Jeromin, as a continuation of last semester's topic of Lie sphere geometry. (Supplemental texts are: "Lie Sphere Geometry" by Tom Cecil, "Projective and Cayley-Klein Geometries" by Onishchik and Sulanke, "Conformal Differential Geometry and its Generalizations" by Akivis and Goldberg, and "Projective Differential Geometry Old and New: From Schwarzian Derivative to Cohomology of Diffeomorphism Groups" by Ovsienko and Tabachnikov.)
