Dear all, Prof. Nitin Nitsure will give a series of lectures on 'Algebraic Stacks and Moduli Theory' starting next week. The draft announcement is attached. The first talk will be introductory and will be accessible to everyone with very minimal knowledge of algebraic geometry. For the benefit of students, this is a very central and important area of algebraic geometry and Prof. Nitsure is a very good lecturer. Do try and attend the first lecture in Ramanujan Hall on Tuesday 27th at 5:10 pm. The first talk will be of 1 hour.
