Algebraic Groups seminar (Host: Dipendra Prasad)

Monday and Friday at 4 pm in room # 105.

Monday's talk by Deep Makadiya will be the last talk on Steinberg's paper.

The talk on Friday by Dibyendu/Chayan will be on what is called  ``Borel-Siebenthal" theory,
which determines all maximal subgroups of maximal rank of a reductive group.
