Description:

One-month-long lectures on novel techniques in birational geometry. Equipped with this new idea and method, participants may be able to discover and prove new results of their own.

This will be a working seminar series on Universal Characteristic-free Resolution of Singularities.

The lectures will be based on the materials of the article with the same title posted on arXiv. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.21400. In what follows, by the article, we mean this paper.

This seminar series has two central goals.

1.To examine and verify the key details of the article, thereby ensuring that its arguments rest on a rigorous foundation.

2.To introduce new techniques and perspectives in birational geometry, with the hope that participants will carry them forward, discovering and proving new theorems of their own.

The seminar runs twice per week, each lasting a minimum of 2 hours. The lecture series will be composed of 8 sessions.
