This BIMSA Member Seminar features a 39-minute talk by William Donovan (YMSC & BIMSA) titled "Derived equivalences from invariant theory." Delivered on May 26, 2025, the presentation explores geometric concepts by applying ideas from physics and noncommutative algebra to study varieties, utilizing tools of homological algebra and category theory. Discover how these mathematical frameworks interconnect as Donovan, an Associate Professor at Yau MSC, Tsinghua University and Adjunct Associate Professor at BIMSA, shares insights from his research. Donovan's background includes studies at Cambridge University, a PhD from Imperial College London, and postdoctoral work at Edinburgh University. His research has been published in prestigious journals including Communications in Mathematical Physics and Duke Mathematical Journal, and he has received support from the China Thousand Talents Plan and the Japan Society for Promotion of Science. Both slides and video recording of the talk are available through the BIMSA website.
