Title: <\/strong>What is a moduli space?<\/p>\n

Speaker: <\/strong>Javier Gonzalez Anaya, Department of Mathematics, Harvey Mudd College<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/b>:\u00a0A natural endeavour in mathematics is to classify objects according to their properties. For example, we can readily identify straight lines in the plane, or recognize different kinds of triangles depending on their symmetries. Less intuitive, however, is that given a class of mathematical objects, it is often possible to construct a geometric space parametrizing those objects. Known as “moduli spaces”, the study of these spaces has been a major driving force of modern geometry. In this talk we will explore some of the main ideas behind moduli theory through examples, ranging from the moduli space of lines in the plane to the one of points on the sphere. We will finish by discussing our ongoing research on the moduli space of points in d-dimensional space.<\/p>\n
