• Naoto Yotsutani, Bott Manifolds with the Strong Calabi Dream Structure

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

        Speaker Naoto Yotsutani Kagawa university We prove that if the Futaki invariant of a polarized Bott manifold (X, L) for any ample line bundle L vanishes, then X is isomorphic to the products of the projective lines. This talk is based on a work joint with Kento Fujita (algebro-geometrical approach), and another independent

  • Giancarlo Urzua, The Birational Geometry of Markov Numbers

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

        Speaker Giancarlo Urzua Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile The projective plane is rigid. However, it may degenerate to surfaces with quotient singularities. After the work of Bădescu and Manetti, Hacking and Prokhorov 2010 classified these degenerations completely. They are Q-Gorenstein partial smoothings of P(a2, b2, c2), where a, b, c satisfy the Markov

  • Izzet Coskun, The Geometry of Moduli Spaces of Sheaves on P2

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

        Speaker Izzet Coskun University of Illinois Chicago In this talk, I will explain how to use Bridgeland stability conditions to compute the ample and effective cones of moduli spaces of sheaves on the projective plane. I will describe the birational geometry of these moduli spaces and give applications to the higher rank interpolation

  • Izzet Coskun, The Higher Rank Brill-Noether Problem on Surfaces

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

        Speaker Izzet Coskun University of Illinois Chicago In this talk, I will explain how to use Bridgeland stability conditions to compute the cohomology of a general stable sheaf on a K3 or abelian surface. This talk is based on joint work with Howard Nuer and Kota Yoshioka.

  • Luca Schaffler, An Explicit Wall Crossing for the Moduli Space of Hyperplane Arrangements

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

        Speaker Luca Schaffler Roma Tre University The moduli space of hyperplanes in projective space has a family of geometric and modular compactifications that parametrize stable hyperplane arrangements with respect to a weight vector. Among these, there is a toric compactification that generalizes the Losev-Manin moduli space of points on the line. We study

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

        Speaker Yen-An Chen National Taiwan University In recent years, there are significant developments of the minimal model program for foliated varieties. It is intriguing to ask if Fano foliations form a bounded family. It is anticipated that Borisov-Alexeev-Borisov conjecture also holds in the context of foliations. In this talk, I will discuss the

  • Luca Schaffler, Unimodal Singularities and Boundary Divisors in the KSBA Moduli of a Class of Horikawa Surfaces

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

        Speaker Luca Schaffler Roma Tre University Smooth minimal surfaces of general type with K2=1, pg=2, and q=0 constitute a fundamental example in the geography of algebraic surfaces, and the 28-dimensional moduli space M of their canonical models admits a modular compactification M via the minimal model program. We describe eight new irreducible boundary

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

        Speaker Sungmin Yoo Incheon National University Following the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture, the construction of sequences of Bergman-type metrics converging to a canonical metric on a polarized manifold has been studied by many mathematicians including Tian, Donaldson, Tsuji, Berman, Berndtsson, and others. In this talk, I will introduce my recent findings on the uniform convergence

  • Yonghwa Cho, Double Point Divisors from Projections

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

        Speaker Yonghwa Cho Gyeongsang National University Consider a smooth projective variety of codimension e. A general projection from a linear subspace of dimension (e-2) is birational, hence the non-isomorphic locus forms a proper closed subset of X. Mumford showed that this non-isomorphic locus is not merely a closed subset, but is naturally endowed

  • Sung Wook Jang, Potential Log Discrepancy and Minimal Model Program I

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

        Speaker Sung Wook Jang IBS CCG Minimal model program (abbreviated as MMP) is a central problem in birational geometry. The MMP is a sequence of divisorial contractions or flips, which makes the canonical divisor closer to a nef divisor. If the MMP successfully terminates, then we have either a minimal model or a
