Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Rigidity properties of Fano varieties

  • Date: 10/26/2009
Lecturer(s):
Tommaso de Fernex (University of Utah)
Location: 

University of British Columbia

Description: 

I will discuss some deformation properties of Fano varieties. The general methods rely on the investigation of the variation of the cone of effective curves and, more generally, of the Mori chamber decomposition, which, according to Mori theory, encode information on the geometry of the variety. The talk is based on joint work with C. Hacon.
