DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/SOQUAGAT/4/"
 >Hilbert's 13th problem and geometry</a>\nby Benson Farb (University of Ch
 icago) as part of Series on open questions in Arithmetic\, Geometry and To
 pology\n\n\nAbstract\nHilbert's 13th Problem (H13) is a fundamental open p
 roblem about polynomials in one variable.  It is part of a beautiful (but 
 mostly forgotten) story going back 3000 years.  In this talk I will explai
 n how H13 (and related problems) fits into a wider framework that includes
  problems in enumerative algebraic geometry and the theory of modular func
 tions. I will then report on some recent progress\, joint with Mark Kisin 
 and Jesse Wolfson.\n
