TETRAHEDRAL GEOMETRY/TOPOLOGY SEMINAR
ANNOUNCEMENT
DATE: Friday, November 30,
2007
LOCATION: Hempfield
High School, Room 213 (directions at http://www.millersville.edu/~tgts/)
followed by
dinner at a place to be determined.
4:30 TALK: Angela
Gibney,
Title: What are the
geometric fibrations of the moduli
space of curves?
Abstract: In this talk I will introduce the moduli space \overline{M}_{g,n} whose points
correspond
to isomorphism classes of (stable) curves of genus g having n marked
points.
I'll frame an open
problem about the space which links the classical study of curves with
tools
from modern birational geometry.
EVERYONE WELCOME
