The goal is to understand "Birational Invariants from Hodge Structures and Quantum Multiplication" by Katzarkov-Kontsevich-Pantev-YU. KKPY introduce new birational invariants called Hodge atoms. These are constructed by combining classical Hodge theory with quantum cohomology. They use it to prove that a very general cubic fourfold is not rational.

Jens Eggers is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Bristol, specializing in the analysis of singularities in nonlinear partial differential equations, with a particular focus on applications to fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2009 for his contributions to singularities in free-surface flows. Eggers was awarded the Naylor Prize and Lectureship in 2023 for his contributions to the theoretical understanding of singularities of nonlinear partial differential equations.

Signe Barfoed introduces her new book The Artemis Laphria Sanctuary at Kalydon in Aitolia. The Finds from the 1920s¨C30s Danish-Greek Excavations volume 1, presenting for the first time the complete pottery assemblage from the early excavations. The talk also explores the practical and scholarly work behind the publication, including the research process, methodological choices, and the overall structure and aims of the volume.
