Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Sándor Kovács (University of Washington)

  • Date: 03/21/2011
Speaker(s):

Sándor Kovács (University of Washington)

 

Location: 

University of British Columbia

Topic: 

Irrational centers

Description: 

Vanishing theorems and rational singularities are closely related and play important roles in classification theory as well as other areas of algebraic geometry. In this talk I will discuss these roles their interrelations and a new notion that helps understand these singularities and their connections to the singularities of the minimal model program and moduli theory of higher dimensional varieties.
