Dr. F.C. Kohli Centre of ExcellencePerspectives in Mathematical SciencesJanuary 10–February 4, 2022Friday, 21 January 2022, 14:00 ISTCaucher Birkar, Tsinghua University and University of CambridgeTitle Recent progress in birational geometry (Video Recording, Slides) Abstract Birational geometry is the subject of classification of algebraic varieties via birational techniques. In this talk we discuss some of the advances in recent years especially around topics such as boundedness, moduli, and generalised spaces. About the speaker
He has worked at Cambridge University for many years. He is currently a professor at the Yau Mathematical Sciences Center at Tsinghua University, Beijing. He received the Fields Medal at ICM 2018 in Rio de Janeiro for his work in Birational Geometry. |
Caucher Birkar is a mathematician working in algebraic geometry with
a particular focus on the birational geometry of algebraic
varieties. His work involves various topics such as minimal model
program, Fano and Calabi-Yau varieties, singularities, generalised
spaces, moduli spaces, etc.
