Double loop spaces of Flag varieties

Elek

Balázs Elek (University of British Columbia) will be speaking in the algebra seminar. We will go out for lunch after the talk---all are welcome to join!
When: 12-1pm Friday May 9
Where: Carslaw 175
Title: Double loop spaces of Flag varieties
Abstract: Motivated by Bott periodicity, we will explore the space of based maps \(\mathbb{P}^1 \to \mathrm{Flags}(\mathbb{C}^n)\). Using cohomological tools we will realize this moduli space as stable representations of a quiver, and then explicitly as an affine variety. A special case of this result has been published as a postcard. This is joint work in progress with Jim Bryan and Ravi Vakil.
