Abstract: A singular space often comes equipped with (1) a resolution, given by a morphism from a smooth space, and (2) a smoothing, namely a deformation with smooth generic fibre. I will discuss work in progress on how these may be related homologically, starting with the threefold ordinary double point as a key example.
Biography: Will Donovan is currently an Associate professor at Yau MSC, Tsinghua University, Beijing.
