Spring 2018 GRASP Seminar
This is the website for the GRASP (Geometry, Representation Theory, And Some Physics) student seminar.
The seminar meets from 2-3 PM on Tuesdays in 939 Evans.
For questions, or if you'd like to give a talk or be added to the mailing list, contact Calvin via email at cmcs, with domain math.berkeley.edu.
This semester, GRASP is focusing on the Poisson geometry of Lie groups and connections with cluster algebras and with integrable systems.
