DESCRIPTION:Prof. Richard Rimanyi\, University of North Carolina at Chapel
  Hill\nGlobal topology forces the occurrence of singularities. A key notio
 n measuring this phenomenon is a multivariable polynomial in universal cha
 racteristic classes\, the "Thom polynomial'' of a singularity. In the lect
 ure we will explore the theory of Thom polynomials\, the challenges and me
 thods of their calculation (equivariant localization\, interpolation\, Gro
 bner bases)\, as well as their applications in differential topology and a
 lgebraic geometry.  We will also discuss related polynomials measuring de
 generacy of quivers and matroids.
