Alberto will be giving a small informal talk tomorrow at 11:00. Title and abstract below.
Title: Cayley-Bacharach theorems
Abstract: Whereas there are well-defined methods to establish the existence and number of solutions of over-determined
linear equations, few results are known about overdetermined polynomial equations. These results are known under the name of Cayley-Bacharach theorems. I will trace back the historical evolution of these theorems from an early ancient result by Pappus to the
present state of the art.
