Below is a list of talk proposals for the part on perverse sheaves. Talks on the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence will be proposed later on.
The seminar is informal and open to anybody who is interested.
From Oct. 12 until the Christmas break, the seminar takes place every Friday at 10.30 in room V4-122.
