• Changho Han, Compact Moduli of K3 Surfaces with a Given Nonsymplectic Cyclic Action

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Changho Han University of Waterloo To construct a moduli space which is itself a compactification of a given moduli space, one needs to enlarge the class of objects in consideration (e.g. adding certain singular curves to the class of smooth curves). After a brief review of the compactifications of the moduli of

  • Sung Gi Park, Kodaira Dimension and Hyperbolicity for Smooth Families of Varieties

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Sung Gi Park Harvard University In this talk, I will discuss the behavior of positivity, hyperbolicity, and Kodaira dimension under smooth morphisms of complex quasi-projective manifolds. This includes a vast generalization of a classical result: a fibration from a projective surface of non-negative Kodaira dimension to a projective line has at least

  • Shin-Young Kim, Minimal Rational Curves on Complete Symmetric Varieties

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Shin-Young Kim IBS-CGP We describe the families of minimal rational curves on any complete symmetric variety, and the corresponding varieties of minimal rational tangents. In particular, we prove that these varieties are homogeneous and that for non-exceptional irreducible wonderful varieties, there is a unique family of minimal rational curves. We relate these

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Shinnosuke Okawa Osaka University Semiorthogonal decomposition (SOD) is a central notion in the study of triangulated categories. In particular, SODs of the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves of a variety (SODs of the variety, for short) have profound relations to its geometry. In this talk I discuss the moduli functor which

    B236-1 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Shinnosuke Okawa Osaka University Motivated by the DK hypothesis, some years ago I proved that SODs of the derived category of a smooth projective variety are strongly constrained by the base locus of the canonical linear system. In particular, this leads to the indecomposability of the derived category of varieties whose canonical

    Complex Geometry Seminar

        Speaker Qifeng Li Shandong University To each complex composition algebra A, there associates a projective symmetric manifold X(A) of Picard number 1. The vareity X(A) is closed related with Freudenthal's Magic Square, which is a square starting from the adjiont varieties of F4, E6, E7 and E8. In a recent joint work with

        Speaker Patrick Brosnan University of Maryland I'll explain what I know about two very interesting pieces of work: (1) Markman's proof of the Hodge conjecture for Weil type abelian fourfolds of discriminant 1. (2) Kontsevich's tropical approach to looking for counterexamples to the Hodge conjecture for Weil type abelian varieties. Then I'll explain
