Title: Enumerative Geometry of singular curves in a Linear System
Abstract: Enumerative geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the following question: "How many geometric objects satisfy certain constraints". A well known class of enumerative question is to count curves in a linear system H^0(X,L) that have some prescribed singularities. In this talk we will describe a topological method to approach this problem. We will express the enumerative numbers as the Euler class of an appropriate bundle. We will then go on to explain how we compute the degenerate contribution of the Euler class using a topological method.

Fredrik Lanner, assistant professor, Karolinska Institutet, will present the work leading up to the recent publication on gene expression in early human embryos, and present his plans to use CRISPR technology to edit genes in early human embryos, as one of the first researchers in the world.
We invite you to a one-day workshop celebrating Professor Bent Natvig's 70th anniversary. Invited speakers will present recent developments in some of the areas where Bent has made significant contributions, including reliability theory and mathematical statistics.
Bent Natvig has, since 1986, been a professor of mathematical statistics at the Department of Mathematics. He is the author of a long list of important papers published in top-ranked scientific journals as well as the recent book entitled "Multistate Systems Reliability Theory with Applications" (John Wiley & Sons). At our department, Bent has taken the leading role in the area of reliability theory. On August 1 this year, he turns 70.

Welcome to the GeoHyd Lunch Seminar on Friday May 20th @ 12:15 in aud. 1 in the Geology building.
We will have a new “mingle” meeting on Friday at 11.15 (as usual). The main attraction will be Ingunn Wehus and Signe Riemer-Sorensen.
Otherwise there will be updates from Kristine and Viggo on the running of the institute. But fear not, there will also be plenty of time for informal chat and eating of cake.
All are welcome to the lobby on the first floor.
