Talk
Non-commutative deformations and flops
Dr. Will Donovan (Kavli IPMU)
25 Oct 2016, 17:00 – 18:00
The second talk presents recent research by Will Donovan and Michael Wemyss: the idea is to allow non-commutative rings as bases for deformations. This has surprising applications and allows, for example, to understand geometric problems about flops that have been open for decades.
