• Giancarlo Urzúa, Wormholes: MMP, Topology, Continued Fractions

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Giancarlo Urzúa Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile We defined wormholes in https://arxiv.org/abs/2102.02177 (joint with Nicolás Vilches). Conjecturally it is a way to non-continuous travel in the KSBA compactification of the moduli space of surfaces of general type. It depends on a particular MMP. In that paper, we verified the conjecture in several

    Algebraic Geometry Seminar

         Speaker Giancarlo Urzua UC Chille (This is a part of Seminars on Algebraic Surfaces and Related Topics.) I will introduce N-resolutions, which are the negative analog of the Kollár--Shepherd-Barron (1988) P-resolutions of a 2-dimensional cyclic quotient singularity. (We instead work with the corresponding M-resolutions of Benkhe-Christophersen (1994).) I will start by describing an

    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
