Welcome to the BAGS Fall 2006!
The schedule
The seminar will take place at 4:30-5:30 on Tuesdays. It will alternate between Harvard and MIT with the Harvard-MIT Algebraic Geometry Seminar. The seminar will be at 2-142 when at MIT and SC 530 when at Harvard.
For last semester's talks see (html).
This semester BU, Tufts and the Clay Intitute are organizing a seminar on vector bundles on curves. The first meeting will be at 2:00 p.m. at B.U. on September 5, 2006. For more information on the seminar see (html).

A potential list of papers that we can discuss
Here is a list of papers that would be fun to discuss in the seminar.(pdf)
This list is intended only as a guide. I tried to make the list fairly broad. Participants are encouraged to talk about papers and topics not covered on this list. Feel free to also e-mail me additional papers or topics that you feel should be presented in the seminar.
