Algebraic and Symplectic Aspects in Degenerations of Complex Surfaces

24(Mon) -- 28(Fri) June 2019

Korea Institute for Advanced Study, Republic of Korea / 8101 Conference Room

The subject of this school and workshop is the interaction of algebraic and symplectic geometries on MMP and its applications to topology, embeddings of rational homology balls, bounding singularities, symplectic fillings of complex surface singularities, and related topics.
