IMSA is hosting a conference to honor Solomon Lefschetz, a pioneering mathematician whose work in algebraic topology, algebraic geometry, and differential equations has shaped modern mathematics. Lefschetz, who overcame adversity after losing both hands, made groundbreaking contributions that continue to influence the field. The event will bring together experts to discuss advancements in these areas and celebrate his enduring legacy.

Claire Voisin, CNRS Institut de Mathématiques de Jussieu-Paris: Universally defined cycles
I introduce the notion of universally defined cycles (for smooth varieties of dimension d) and prove that any unversally defined cycle is given on generic fibers by a polynomial in the Chern classes, which can be seen as a higher dimensional version of the Franchetta conjecture. I will also give the motivation for the main definition and explain a conjectural extension of that result to universally defined cycles on powers of varieties of given dimension.
