Abstract

I will explain mirror symmetry for Fano varieties, and an approach to the classification of Fano varieties based on mirror symmetry.

Speaker

Professor Alessio Corti holds a Chair in Pure Mathematics at Imperial College London. His main areas of interest lie in algebraic geometry, particularly higher dimesional birational geometry, minimal model theory, Fano varieties.

Algebraic Geometry Seminar | Varieties with large index
AbstractIt is attractive to classify Fano varieties with various types of singularities that originated from the minimal model program. For a Fano variety, the Fano index is the largest integer m such that the anti-canonical divisor is Q-linearly equivalent to m times some Weil divisor. For Fano varieties of various singularities, I show the Fano indexes can grow double exponentially with respe...
