This is the current homepage of the UW Student Algebraic Geometry Seminar. The seminar will be held on Thursdays at 3:00PM in PDL C-401 during the Fall 2025 quarter. The goal of the seminar is to foster engagement with modern research in algebraic geometry (broadly interpreted) and provide a forum for graduate students to present and discuss aspects of their work and readings. The seminar will also feature some talks by faculty in the department. If you would like to give a talk or have any questions, please contact Daniel Rostamloo (rostam[at]uw[dot]edu).

| September 25 | Daniel RostamlooPerfectoid spaces and diamonds IIn this two-part talk, I will give an introduction to Scholze’s theory of perfectoid spaces and diamonds, starting from basic elements of $p$-adic geometry and providing many examples along the way. Time permitting, I will discuss their role in Scholze’s proof of Deligne’s weight-monodromy conjecture. |
