The Graduate Student Seminar (GSS) is an opportunity for grad students to give general interest talks to an audience of other grad students in a low-pressure environment. GSS talks are typically 50 minutes long and accessible to a general mathematical audience. We encourage everybody to give a talk! Some ideas include existing talks from undergrad research, REUs, or a Masters program, practice for upcoming conference talks, educational talks about material you've been studying for your comprehensive exam, or just presentations on a recreational mathematical topic you know a lot about.

I will state Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, then give the definitions of some commonly used ranked-choice voting rules, and finally present some examples of common paradoxes that each of them suffer from.
A moduli space is a parameter space where each point represents some mathematical object. For algebraic geometers, these objects are usually geometric, and moduli spaces help us see how these geometric objects deform and detect their "stability". In this GSS talk, I will give a short survey on the development of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry and provide examples on constructing these moduli spaces. The main result will be showcasing how the moduli space of acute triangles is closely related to the moduli space of elliptic curves.
Does that question keep you up at night? If yes, you're in luck - in this talk, we'll define these algebraic objects, which are ubiquitous in the representation theory of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras and also appear in number theory and physics. We'll give a friendly example of a VOA and might even mention why you should care.
