INABAG

Italian Network for Applied and Birational Algebraic Geometry 

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our friend and colleague Gianfranco Casnati. Gianfranco passed away unexpectedly on November 29th 2023, and will be sorely missed by all of us. 

We are a group of geometers and algebraists based in Italy, whose common research interests lie within the theory of tensors from the commutative algebraic, the birational algebro-geometric, and the applied viewpoints. Our research team cultivates a collaborative atmosphere by means of joint seminars and collective activities (see the "Activities" tab) that foster the growth of its members. We also have a long track record of joint publications. 

Our research is suported by the Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca (Ministry of University and Research) through the award of four research grants within the scheme PRIN 2022. We have been recruiting a number of postdocs (see the "Job opportunities" tab for info), who naturally blended in our team and took part in our activities.
