NEXT SEMESTER'S SCHEDULE



This colloquium is being organized by Sebastian (Yano) Casalaina-Martin.  This webpage is yet another example of a shameless (indirect) copying of a webpage of Pasha Belorousski's at the University of Michigan.  A latex template for the poster (with title and abstract) is available here.
