Modern Perspectives on Birational Geometry
Mini-courses and Conference
National Center for Theoretical Sciences, Taipei
Special Announcement
The Taipei City government has declared August 3rd as typhoon day. Please kindly note that the NCTS will be closed, and the onsite event (MPBG 2023) will be shifted to R205, Howard International House with an online meeting.
Aim & Scope
Birational geometry has been central in shaping the developments of algebraic geometry since the 19th century. Many fundamental problems and breakthroughs revolve around the birational types of algebraic varieties as well as birational transformations, such as the minimal model program, resolution of singularities, factorizations of birational maps, K-equivalences, amongst many others.
Progress made in birational geometry builds primarily upon the many beautiful and explicit examples and constructions, such as explicit studies of del Pezzo surfaces and Fano threefolds, examples of simple birational transformations (e.g. simples flops or K-equivalences), rationality constructions of certain cubic fourfolds, to name but a few. They make birational geometry an inexhaustive area of research, and nourish new perspectives and techniques that keep emerging in the field. The main aim of this conference is to bring together the experts in birational geometry working in various domains, but sharing interests in the explicit aspect of it.
