SFB-Class Summer Semester 2021
This semester’s SFB class on topology in atoms and solids will consist of introductory lectures on the subject, and presentations given by the active participants, as the central feature. Anyone is cordially invited to attend.
All PhD students in the SFB, and outside of the SFB, in case of sufficient capacity, are invited to give presentations. The class can also be taken for credit by students enrolled in the UHH, it is listed as 66-614 in Stine, so undergrad students are encouraged to make use of this option.
The subjects listed are suggestions, to give an idea about what type of presentations could be given. Participants are also very welcome to choose their own presentation topic, that fit the overall subject.
The talks will be given on Zoom:
Meeting ID: 849 7686 5435
Passcode: 882283
Additionally, we have set up a Discord server, for informal discussions and chatting about the subject, organization, and scheduling. This might be particularly helpful for participants who would like to follow the event more closely, and are considering giving a talk. We plan to do the scheduling there. But of course everyone is invited to join:
Course program since 2019
