Title: Singular symplectic and Enriques varieties.
Abstract: The purpose of this talk is to give an overview of the theory of primitive symplectic and primitive Enriques varieties, focusing mainly on the Enriques side. The former constitute singular and higher-dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces, while the latter can be viewed accordingly as singular and higher-dimensional analogues of Enriques surfaces. Specifically, I will present the basic properties as well as some examples of (smooth and singular) primitive Enriques varieties, making some comparisons with primitive symplectic varieties. I will also discuss a termination statement for so-called Enriques pairs and, if time permits, some deformation-theoretic results concerning primitive Enriques varieties. The talk will be based on joint works with F. Denisi, Á. D. Ríos Ortiz and Z. Xie.
