In the academic year 2012/13, Seminar IMPANGA meets twice per month for a one day session on Friday, with two 60 min. talks:

I. 10:30-11:30 (+ discussion) 
II. 12:45
-13:45 (+ discussion).

A standard venue of the seminar is Room 403 at IM PAN, Śniadeckich 8, in Warsaw.


The seminar is directed by
 

Jarek Buczyński
  and  Piotr Pragacz (chair).



See you then at  IMPANGA!

New!

In December 2013, IMPANGA shall host Izzet Coskun (Chicago). He will deliver a series of lectures in the framework of the Research Group "Schubert calculus". The venue of this Research Group will be Banach Center in Warsaw, and its time will be December 10-14.

Almost new!

There will be a workshop on Linear Systems hold at the Banach Center in Warsaw 22-28 September, 2013.
This workshop is part of IMPANGA activities.

The topics of the research groups and talks will ideally be centered around the various versions of Nagata's conjecture. In particular, they could include but will  not be restricted to:

- study of Mori cones of blow-ups of  projective spaces,
- containment relations for symbolic and usual powers of ideals,
- relations between Okounkov bodies and various invariants attached to linear series.

Since in the 2nd half of May there are several conferences, which
will be attended by the  participants of our seminar, the last Impanga seminar in the academic year 2012/2013  is  that on May 10.

After summer holidays, the seminar will restart in the last
week of September with the workshop
