THEORY SEMINAR -- Fall 2006

Due to scheduling conflicts this semester our informal group seminar will meet  on Fridays from 3-4 and not in the 11-12 time slot we've had for the past few years.  Hopefully,  we'll be able to return to our 11-12 slot (followed by group lunch) in the spring.   In the meantime,  we will try to organize group lunches on Fridays that there are talks.   Announcements  will be sent to the cstheory mailing list. If you would like to be on the list or to give a talk,  please send me email.

Occasionally, talks will be given out of the normal Friday, 3-4 slot.  Such talks will be highlighted in yellow.
