Title:

Statistics meets algebraic geometry

Abstract：

This 30-minute talk will describe a serendipitous encounter of notions from statistics (e.g., quantiles, tail distributions, cdfs) to the study of thresholds and Okounkov bodies in algebraic geometry. An unexpected twist in the plot is provided by Weierstrass gap theory.

Algebraic Geometry Seminar | Birational geometry of del Pezzo surfaces
Abstract：Alongside with conic bundles, del Pezzo surfaces are possible outcomes of the Minimal Model Program ran on a geometrically rational surface. Thus, many questions about birational geometry and birational automorphisms of geometrically rational surfaces reduce to similar questions for del Pezzo surfaces. I will survey some known results concerning birational models and birational automo...
