Venue: IIT Madras, Chennai
Dates: 15 Dec 2025 to 19 Dec 2025
This Panorama Lecture Series will feature lectures by Prof Srikanth Iyengar on cohomological support varieties for modules over complete intersections, stratification of the bounded derived category of complete intersections and applications to modular representation theory of finite groups. Additionally, there will be preparatory lectures on stable module categories and group cohomology.
