  • Date: 03/10/2017
  • Time: 15:00
Lecturer(s):
Michel Brion, University of Grenoble
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Automorphism groups in algebraic geometry [video]

Description: 

The talk will first present some classical results on the automorphisms of complex projective curves (or alternatively, of compact Riemann surfaces). We will then discuss the automorphism groups of projective algebraic varieties of higher dimensions; in particular, their "connected part" (which can be arbitrary) and their "discrete part" (of which little is known).
