 hatIs_/2/">What is a cohomological field theory?</a>\nby Pedram Hekmati ((
 University of Auckland)) as part of SMRI 'What is ...?' Series\n\nLecture 
 held in Quad S227 (for University of Sydney staff\, students & affiliates 
 only).\n\nAbstract\nAbstract: Many interesting invariants in geometry sati
 sfy certain glueing or\nfactorisation conditions\, that are often useful w
 hen doing calculations.  Topological\nquantum field theories (TQFTs) emerg
 ed in the 1980s as an organising structure for\ninvariants that are govern
 ed by bordisms.  In 2 dimensions\, bordisms are surfaces with\nboundaries 
 and the TQFT has a simple algebraic description.  By remembering the\ndiff
 eomorphisms of the surfaces\, one is lead to the notion of a cohomological
  field\ntheory.  \n\nThis talk will give an overview of these ideas and be
  aimed at a broad audience.\n

 hatIs_/3/">'What is ...a moduli space?'</a>\nby Kenneth Ascher (University
  of California\, Irvine) as part of SMRI 'What is ...?' Series\n\nLecture 
 held in Quad S223 (for University of Sydney staff\, students & affiliates 
 only).\n\nAbstract\nModuli spaces are geometric spaces which parametrize e
 quivalence classes of algebraic varieties. I will discuss the moduli space
  of algebraic curves (equivalently Riemann surfaces) of genus g\, and use 
 this example to motivate some interesting questions in higher dimensions.\
