NOTE: This seminar will be online. We will meet on heiCONF on 03.11.20, at 15:00 (3:00 pm) for a first meeting (the heiCONF-link will be sent to you, if you are registered, a few days in advance).

In that meeting, we will explain the technical details, give a short introduction in the topic of the seminar, and we will distribute the subjects of the talks.
