 Pierre Albin   [email] (Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)Compactness of isospectral manifoldsAbstract: We will commence our study of the Osgood-Phillips-Sarnak papers on the compactness of isospectral surfaces. I will discuss compactness of isospectral sets of manifolds with a curvature bound. In a follow-up talk I will discuss the case of surfaces.

 Sheldon Katz   [email] (Department of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)Introduction to Algebraic GeometryAbstract: Illustrating throughout with plane curves, I will give a tour of algebraic geometry, touching on both the classical and the modern. I will also give connections to other areas of study, from elementary calculus to string theory in theoretical physics.
