Modern Moduli Theory
February 23-27, 2009, MSRI
Organizers: I. Coskun (U. Illinois - Chicago), S. Katz (U. Illinois), A. Marian (U. Illinois - Chicago), R. Pandharipande (Princeton U.), R. Thomas (Imperial College), H.H. Tseng (U. Wisconsin), R. Vakil (Stanford U.)
A list of confirmed speakers:
Algebraic Geometry is one of the most diverse areas of mathematics. Due to the breadth of the subject it is often a challenge for graduate students and people from other fields to get a global view of current developments in the field. Algebraic Geometry has grown dramatically over the past century, with new subfields constantly branching off. The core of the field is now universally called Classical Algebraic Geometry, an exciting area itself full of fundamental unsolved problems and at the same time providing a theoretical foundation for the areas that have developed in recent years.
2. Moduli of objects in derived categories and their relations to counting invariants.
3. The moduli of higher dimensional varieties.
4. New developments in Brill-Noether Theory and the minimal model program for the moduli space of curves.
