This is a reading group on Cohomology of infinite-dimensional Lie algebras, we will follow the book with the same name by D.B. Fuks.
The meetings take place on Tuesday 15:00-16:00, in JCMB (except for the first meeting in JCMB 5328). If you want to join the mailing list, or are interested in volunteering to give a talk, please feel free to email me.
