A perspective projection of a dodecahedral tessellation in H3. Four dodecahedra meet at each edge, and eight meet at each vertex, like the cubes of a cubic tessellation in E3.

Title: The McKay Correspondence, 400BC – 2024AD

Speaker: Austin Hubbard

Abstract: Starting with the Greeks, we’ll trace a path through some history of equivariant geometry, culminating in a modern perspective on the much-studied McKay correspondence. We’ll discuss singularities, their resolutions, and hopefully some stacks.

Some snacks will be provided before and after the talk.
