Hi! I'm Lorenzo Barban.
I'm a postdoc at the Center of Complex Geometry (IBS), in Daejeon, South Korea.
I have obtained my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Trento, working with Prof. L. E. Solà Conde and Prof. E. A. Romano.
I'm interested in algebraic geometry, in particular on the interplay between birational geometry and torus actions. In my research, I use Mori dream spaces, geometric invariant theory, minimal model program, toric varieties, rational homogeneous spaces.
News:
The paper "Quotients of flag varieties and their birational geometry" is now on arXiv, click here ;
I'll visit Gyeongsang National University on September 15-16 and give a talk there;
I'll be in Italy for a couple of weeks in October, participating in the following conferences:
"New Frontiers in Algebra and Geometry", Lincei Academy, Rome, October 15-16, 2025;
"New trends in Algebraic and Complex Geometry", Ischia, October 17-20, 2025;
Visit Prof. A. Massarenti at the University of Ferrara, October 20-25, 2025.
