A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away and with many, many more dimensions, three siblings are unpacking their Christmas presents. The two twins Tory and Cyclie each wished for their favorite type of singularities and are hastily unpacking all infinitely many of them. One by one. Meanwhile, Defar, the eldest sibling, had only wished for one thing. In their hand, Defar holds the new Deformator 3000, the most powerful deformation-machine to date. While Tory is still unpacking more and more singularities, Defar takes the chance to feed one of Torys singularities into the deformator and... nothing happens. The siblings soon discover that some singularities have more interesting deformations than others, and that even the most complicated deformations consist of parts that are very familiar to them.
TopMath Talks
Im Rahmen der TopMath-Talks stellen Studierende und Promovierende des TopMath-Programms Teile ihrer Forschung vor. Sie geben einen verständlichen Einblick in ihr Interessensgebiet und ermöglichen es so Studierenden und Mitarbeitern aus unterschiedlichen Forschungsfeldern, ihre mathematische Allgemeinbildung zu erweitern. Die Talks sind öffentlich und dauern ungefähr eine Stunde mit anschließender Diskussion. Jede*r ist willkommen.
