 2/">What is a cohomological field theory?</a>\nby Pedram Hekmati ((Univers
 ity of Auckland)) as part of SMRI 'What is ...?' Series\n\nLecture held in
  Quad S227 (for University of Sydney staff\, students & affiliates only).\
 n\nAbstract\nAbstract: Many interesting invariants in geometry satisfy cer
 tain glueing or\nfactorisation conditions\, that are often useful when doi
 ng calculations.  Topological\nquantum field theories (TQFTs) emerged in t
 he 1980s as an organising structure for\ninvariants that are governed by b
 ordisms.  In 2 dimensions\, bordisms are surfaces with\nboundaries and the
  TQFT has a simple algebraic description.  By remembering the\ndiffeomorph
 isms of the surfaces\, one is lead to the notion of a cohomological field\
 ntheory.  \n\nThis talk will give an overview of these ideas and be aimed 
 at a broad audience.\n

 3/">'What is ...a moduli space?'</a>\nby Kenneth Ascher (University of Cal
 ifornia\, Irvine) as part of SMRI 'What is ...?' Series\n\nLecture held in
  Quad S223 (for University of Sydney staff\, students & affiliates only).\
 n\nAbstract\nModuli spaces are geometric spaces which parametrize equivale
 nce classes of algebraic varieties. I will discuss the moduli space of alg
 ebraic curves (equivalently Riemann surfaces) of genus g\, and use this ex
 ample to motivate some interesting questions in higher dimensions.\n
