 6/">Line bundles in equivariant elliptic cohomology</a>\nby Arnav Tripathy
  (Stanford University) as part of Stanford algebraic geometry seminar\n\n\
 nAbstract\nGiven a compact Lie group G acting on a space X\, the G-equivar
 iant elliptic cohomology of X is naturally a scheme Ell_G(X) (with a map d
 own to the moduli space of G-bundles on elliptic curves). Given a G-equiva
 riant vector bundle V on X\, one obtains an interesting line bundle Thom(V
 ) on Ell_G(X). Both topologists and string theorists have predicted that g
 iven two vector bundles V_1\, V_2 whose first Chern classes both vanish an
 d whose second Chern classes agree\, the resulting line bundles Thom(V_1) 
 and Thom(V_2) should agree in Pic(Ell_G(X)). I'll describe how the theory 
 of pushforwards in topology gives rise to this subtle question in algebrai
 c geometry\, and I hope to indicate in broad strokes the proof of this con
 jecture. This is joint work with D. Berwick-Evans.\n
