DESCRIPTION:Ravi Vakil\, Stanford University\n\n\nTitle: Topology from Alge
 braic Geometry\n\n\nAbstract: One of the magical parts of being a mathemat
 ician is seeing how different fields of mathematics are intertwined. Somet
 imes a surprising fact in one field comes from an insight in another. I wi
 ll give some examples of the philosophy that \nwhen geometry comes from al
 gebra or arithmetic\, the topology can be unexpectedly constrained\, which
  lets you prove results by "cutting and pasting". I will conclude by tryin
 g to indicate how Bott periodicity (which I won't assume you understand) i
 s a fact about algebra\, not analysis. \n\n\nI will discuss work of a numb
 er of mathematicians\, including Melanie Matchett Wood\, Aaron Landesman\,
  Hannah Larson\, Jim Bryan\, and more. (This talk is intended as a survey 
 for a broad audience.)
