The applied theory reading group is organized by Sylvain Chassang and meets every Wednesday. Post-generals students take turn to present research papers of interest.
The following is a list of papers presented in 2013, with links to summaries of papers I presented. The summaries sometimes contain details of the discussion that took place or a short proof of an original result. I've also attached some comments on papers other students presented.
