Pre-Talbot Seminar 2008: Quantum groups and geometric Langlands

Organizers: Scott Carnahan, John Francis.

This seminar is to help prepare for the Talbot workshop on affine algebras and chiral structures in March.

Here are some references and links thereto:

• Dennis Gaitsgory's preprints. Note especially this one.
• Gaitsgory gave a talk at Chicago in January, and Vivek Dhand has kindly shared the notes he typed up.
• David Ben-Zvi's geometric Langlands references.
• Notes (10 MB) from the 2005 Talbot program, taken by Megumi Harada. Joel's talk is especially relevant.
