- Apr 214:30 PMAlgebraic Topology SeminarSpeaker: J.D. Quigley (University of Virginia)Tilte: Some applications of the topological modular forms of projective spacesAbstract: Hurewicz homomorphisms allow one to detect nontrivial elements in the stable homotopy groups of spheres by mapping them to the (often simpler) generalized homology groups of spheres. In previous work with Behrens and Mahowald, we computed the image of the 2-local Hurewicz homomorphism for topological modular forms, which allowed us to detect many new infinite families in the stable stems. In this talk, I will explain some recent work with Bhattacharya and Bobkova leveraging these computations, together with computations of the tmf-homology of small projective spaces, to produce additional infinite familes. Time permitting, I will also describe work in progress, building on Bauer’s computation of the tmfcohomology of the infinite complex projective space, to detect smooth free circle actions on exotic spheres in arbitrarily high dimensions.
- Apr 215:30 PMYoga for Every Body - Virtual ClassDo you think yoga is only for young, slender, super-flexible people? Think again!Yoga for Every Body with Catherine provides a gentle yoga experience in the Kripalu tradition. It offers a safe introduction for beginners of all ages, shapes, and sizes, as well as an opportunity for more experienced practitioners to share a gentle, mindful practice.Catherine hopes that this will give everyone an opportunity to turn down the “noise” of daily living and tune in to your own body, mind, and spirit.Registration is required on our wellness class website. If you do not already have an account on this website, you'll need to create one. This is fee-based class and open to the entire MIT community.
- Apr 216:45 PMArgentine Tango ClassesJoin us on Monday evenings for Argentine tango classes with outstanding instructors Fernanda Ghi, Guillermo Merlo and Mia Dalglish (read their bios on the link). Whether you are completely new to tango, or already have some experience, you will find a friendly environment in which to learn new things and improve your technique. You don't have to bring a partner, since the classes involve rotations with all participants.More info on website: https://sites.google.com/site/mittangoclub/products-services/2025-spring-series?authuser=0
