• Kyoung-Seog Lee, Cox Rings and Geometry of Some Surfaces of General Type with pg=q=0

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Kyoung-Seog Lee University of Miami Cox ring is an important tool in modern algebraic geometry and several other branches of mathematics. In the first part of this talk, I will briefly review basic theory of Cox ring and explain how it connects birational geometry and geometric invariant theory. Then I will discuss

  • Kangjin Han, On the Singular Loci of Higher Secants of Veronese Varieties

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Kangjin Han DGIST (This is a part of Algebraic Geometry Day at CCG in IBS.) For a projective variety X in PN, the k-secant variety σk(X) is defined to be the closure of the union of k-planes in PN spanned by k-points of X. In this talk, we consider singular loci of higher

  • DongSeon Hwang, Manin’s Conjecture for a Log Del Pezzo Surface of Index 2

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker DongSeon Hwang Ajou Univ. (This is a part of Algebraic Geometry Day at CCG in IBS.) Manin’s conjecture predicts the asymptotic behavior on the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height on Fano varieties. In this talk, I will explain how the geometry governs the arithmetic in the case of a

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Yeongrak Kim Pusan National Univ. (This is a part of Algebraic Geometry Day at CCG in IBS.) Ulrich bundles are geometric objects corresponding to maximally generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules, whose existence has several interesting applications in commutative algebra, homological algebra, and linear algebra. After a pioneering work of Beauville and Eisenbud-Schreyer, existence

  • Olivier Martin, Measures of Association for Algebraic Varieties

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Olivier Martin Stony Brook Univ. I will discuss recent work in collaboration with R. Lazarsfeld which explores the following question: Given varieties X and Y of the same dimension how far are they from being birational? I will define various "measures of association" which quantify the failure of X and Y to

  • Paul-Andi Nagy, Einstein Deformations of Hyperkaehler Cones

    B236 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Paul-Andi Nagy IBS CCG For a hyperkaehler cone with compact link (M, g) we describe the Einstein deformation theory of g and relate it to the algebraic geometry of the twistor space Z of M. This is joint work with Uwe Semmelmann.

  • Kento Fujita, The Calabi Problem for Fano Threefolds

    on-line
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Kento Fujita Osaka Univ. There are 105 irreducible families of smooth Fano threefolds, which have been classified by Iskovskikh, Mori and Mukai. For each family, we determine whether its general member admits a Kähler-Einstein metric or not. This is a joint work with Carolina Araujo, Ana-Maria Castravet, Ivan Cheltsov, Anne-Sophie Kaloghiros, Jesus

  • Han-Bom Moon, Derived Category of Moduli of Vector Bundles I

    TBA
    Complex Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Han-Bom Moon Fordham University The derived category of a smooth projective variety is an object expected to encode much birational geometric information. Recently, there have been many results on decomposing derived categories into simpler building blocks. In the first lecture, I will provide an elementary introduction to two independent topics -- 1.

  • Sanghoon Baek, Relationship between the Chow and Grothendieck Rings for Generic Flag Varieties

    B266 IBS, Korea, Republic of
    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Sanghoon Baek KAIST Consider the canonical morphism from the Chow ring of a smooth variety X to the associated graded ring of the coniveau filtration on the Grothendieck ring of X. In general, this morphism is not injective. However, Nikita Karpenko conjectured that these two rings are isomorphic for a generic flag
