November 27, 2025
Simon Fraser University
Given a complex Lie group G of adjoint type, the wonderful compactification Y(G) (originally described by work of DeConcini-Procesi) is a compactification of G by a divisor with simple normal crossings. These groups are specified by their Dynkin...

UBC Math Department Colloquium: Krystal Taylor
November 28, 2025
University of British Columbia
Measure zero sets containing intricate structure are foundational in geometric measure theory. These include Besicovitch sets in the plane (also known as Kakeya sets), which are measure zero sets containing a line in every direction. Closely related...
