Introduction:This is an online learning seminar series on Birkar's multiple work on Fano varieties, singularities, and related topics. The focus will be on main results, key ideas, applications, and open problems. The aim is to help researchers and students learn about this very exciting area of algebraic geometry and to stimulate further work. The seminar will be held online via Zoom
AbstractI will explain mirror symmetry for Fano varieties, and an approach to the classification of Fano varieties based on mirror symmetry.SpeakerProfessor 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.Professor Alessio Cor...
