Algebra Seminar

An introduction to the Beilinson-Bernstein theorem

Grojnowski

I will attempt to explain, mostly for sl_2, how to study representations of Lie algebras in terms of D-modules on the flag variety (also explaining what they are!).

Note the unusual time/day/venue for this talk.

Ian will also be giving a second talk this Friday.
