 /1/">Openness of K-semistability for Fano varieties</a>\nby Harold Blum (U
 tah) as part of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nUntil recently\, it wa
 s unclear if there was a natural way to construct (compactified) moduli sp
 aces of Fano varieties. One approach to solving this problem is the K-modu
 li Conjecture\, which predicts that K-polystable Fano varieties of fixed d
 imension and volume are parametrized by a projective good moduli space. In
  this talk\, I will survey recent progress on this conjecture and discuss 
 a result with Yuchen Liu and Chenyang Xu proving the openness of K-semista
 bility in families of Fano varieties (a step in constructing K-moduli spac
 es).\n

 /2/">Lannes's T-functor and Chow rings of classifying spaces</a>\nby David
  Hemminger (UCLA) as part of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nEquivaria
 nt Chow rings\, including Chow rings of classifying spaces of algebraic gr
 oups\, appear often in nature but are difficult to compute. Like singular 
 cohomology in topology\, these Chow rings modulo a prime p carry the addit
 ional structure of unstable modules over the Steenrod algebra. We utilize 
 this extra structure to refine estimates of equivariant Chow rings mod p. 
 As a special case\, we prove an analog of Quillen's stratification theorem
 \, generalizing and recovering prior results of Yagita and Totaro.\n

 /3/">On the boundedness of elliptically fibered varieties</a>\nby Stefano 
 Filipazzi (UCLA) as part of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn this ta
 lk\, we will survey some ideas to address the boundedness of varieties adm
 itting an elliptic fibration. After introducing general ideas\, we will di
 scuss how they apply concretely to special classes of varieties: n-folds o
 f Kodaira dimension n-1\, and elliptic Calabi-Yau varieties.  Part of this
  talk is based on current work in progress joint with C.D. Hacon and R. Sv
 aldi.\n

 /4/">An O-acyclic variety of even index</a>\nby Fumiaki Suzuki (UCLA) as p
 art of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nI will construct a family of En
 riques surfaces parametrized by ${\\bf P}^1$ such that any multi-section h
 as even degree over the base ${\\bf P}^1$. Over the function field of a co
 mplex curve\, this gives the first example of an $O$-acyclic variety ($H^i
 (X\,O)=0$ for $i>0$) whose index is not equal to one\, and an affirmative 
 answer to a question of Colliot-Th&eacute\;l&egrave\;ne and Voisin. I will
  also discuss applications to related problems\, including the integral Ho
 dge conjecture and Murre's question on universality of the Abel-Jacobi map
 s. This is joint work with John Christian Ottem.\n

 /5/">Varieties of general type with small volume</a>\nby Chengxi Wang (UCL
 A) as part of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nBy Hacon-McKernan\, Taka
 yama\, and Tsuji\, there is a constant r_n such that for every r at least 
 r_n\, the r-canonical map of every n-dimensional variety of general type i
 s birational. In this talk\, we show that r_n must grow faster than any po
 lynomial in n by giving examples of general type with small volume in high
  dimensions. In particular\, we construct a klt n-fold with ample canonica
 l class whose volume is less than 1/2^(2^n). The klt examples should be cl
 ose to optimal. This is joint work with Burt Totaro.\n

 /6/">The co-radical filtration on the Chow group of zero-cycles</a>\nby Ch
 arles Vial (Bielefeld) as part of UCLA Algebra Seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nI wi
 ll discuss a filtration of the Chow group of zero-cycles on a smooth proje
 ctive variety\, obtained roughly by considering the kernels of iterates of
  a modified diagonal embedding of the variety. This filtration is particul
 arly relevant for abelian varieties and hyperk&auml\;hler varieties\, wher
 e it is expected to be opposite to the conjectural Bloch-Beilinson filtrat
 ion. In the case of abelian varieties\, it can in fact be described explic
 itly in terms of the Beauville decomposition. In the case of hyperk&auml\;
 hler varieties\, I conjecture (and prove in some cases) that the filtratio
 n coincides with one introduced earlier by Claire Voisin.\n
