Reading Course On Stacks in Algebraic Geometry

Site Logo

Fall 2021

Coordinator: Johan Martens


During the Fall semester of 2021 we will run an informal reading course on stacks. The main aim of the course is to work through the lecture notes Introduction to Stacks and Moduli by Jarod Alper, possible augmented by some additional reading, in particular from the notes Moduli Theory by Daniel Halpern-Leistner.

There will be no lectures, just directed reading and discussion / presentation of exercises by participants. First-year PhD students can use this course in lieu of an SMSTC course. We will have weekly meetings on Fridays, 11:30-12:30, in Bayes 5.45. Further information will be posted here. Anybody interested should contact Johan Martens.
