Dec 15 2025 Members' Colloquium Fundamental Groups of Algebraic Varieties and the Shafarevich Conjecture Benjamin Thomas Bakker 1:30pm|Simonyi 101 and Remote Access The fundamental group $\pi_1(X)$ is an important invariant of a complex algebraic variety X. Despite its topological nature, it is closely connected to the geometry of many algebraic structures on X. In this talk I want to discuss two elementary...
