This is a reading seminar on the paper "The Chromatic Nullstellensatz" by Burklund, Schlank, and Yuan. Please email me if you'd like to join (pvk AT tamu DOT edu) and I'll put you on the mailing list!

Talks will take place on Tuesdays from 1-2:30, at the small seminar room at MPI. (It's on the 3rd floor, next door to the big seminar room.) Talks should be about an hour long, with the extra time reserved for questions and discussion.

Here's an outline (dates subject to change).
