Title: Characteristic classes and singular foliations
Speaker: Jonathan Block
Speaker Info: University of Pennsylvania
Brief Description:
Special Note:
Abstract:

Baum and Bott showed that certain characteristic classes of the normal bundle to a holomorphic foliation are determined by the singularities. In this talk I will describe my work to generalize this and other results to $C^\infty$ singular foliations.
