Speaker Shin-Young Kim IBS-CGP As a general background, we talk about adjoint symmetric varieties and their wonderful compactification. We describe the families of minimal rational curves on wonderful symmetric varieties corresponding to varieties of minimal rational tangents (VMRT). In particular, we prove that these varieties are homogeneous and that for non-exceptional irreducible wonderful …
