• Andrea Petracci, A 1-dimensional Component of K-moduli of Del Pezzo Surfaces

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Andrea Petracci Università di Bologna Fano varieties are algebraic varieties with positive curvature; they are basic building blocks of algebraic varieties. Great progress has been recently made by Xu et al. to construct moduli spaces of Fano varieties by using K-stability (which is related to the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics). These moduli

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

         Speaker JongHae Keum KIAS Fake projective planes (abbreviated as FPPs) are 2-dimensional complex manifolds with the same Betti numbers as the projective plane, but not isomorphic to it. FPPs can be uniformized by a complex 2-ball. In other words, they are ball quotients having the minimum possible Betti numbers. The existence of such

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Kangjin Han DGIST Secant variety (or more generally Join) construction is one of the main methods to construct a new geometric object from the original one in classical algebraic geometry. In this series of talks, we first consider some general facts on secant varieties and then focus on a specific topic, i.e.

    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Dennis The UiT The Arctic University of Norway Generic rank 2 distributions on 5-manifolds, i.e. "(2,3,5)-distributions", are interesting geometric structures arising in the study of non-holonomic systems, underdetermined ODE of Monge type, conformal 5-manifolds with special holonomy, etc. The origins of their study date to Élie Cartan's "5-variables" paper of 1910, where

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Daniele Agostini Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen The syzygies of a curve are the algebraic relation amongst the equation defining it. They are an algebraic concept but they have surprising applications to geometry. For example, the Green-Lazarsfeld secant conjecture predicts that the syzygies of a curve of sufficiently high degree are controlled by
