THEORY SEMINAR -- Fall 2007

The informal theory group seminar meets on Fridays from 11-12, followed by a group lunch.  Talk announcements  will be sent to the cstheory mailing list. If you would like to be on the list or to give a talk,  please send me email.

Occasionally, talks will be given out of the normal Friday, 11-12 slot.  Such talks will be highlighted in yellow.
Talks will usually be held in 3464 (the MATH/CS conference room) or 3530 (the small CS conference room). Talks held in other venues will also be highlighted in yellow.
