This is a seminar by Topology and Geometry of Manifolds Unit, occasionally on Thursday. It will be followed by tea after the semiar at the unit space.

Abstract: Topological gravity, defined on Riemann surface or Teichmuller space with handles and holes, has recently interesting developments. The intersection numbers on the moduli space for p-spin curve are evaluated with handles and holes. Some problems of a super Riemann surface are discussed.
