ESAGA Research Seminar

During the winter term 2026/27 the research seminar will treat perverse sheaves on abelian varieties. Specifically, we will study the article by Krämer-Weissauer “Vanishing theorems for constructible sheaves on abelian varieties” and explore further applications of the machinery developed there.

Date and place: Thursday, 14:15-15:45 , WSC-N-U-3.05
First meeting: October 15, 2026
