K-stability and Birational Geometry

Date: 25 - 29 September 2023

Location: Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford

This workshop will bring together mathematicians working on geometry of Fano varieties (projective varieties with ample anticanonical divisors) and varieties with similar properties. A special emphasis will be given to the problems related to K-stability of Fano varieties and their moduli. Among the topics to be addressed will be the K-stability of Fano varieties with special properties, the explicit description of the K-moduli spaces of Fano varieties, rationality problems for Fano varieties, and stability of polarized varieties in general.

Speakers:  Hamid Abban (Nottingham), Carolina Araujo (IMPA), Paolo Cascini (Imperial), Ana-Maria Castravet (Paris-Saclay), Giulio Codogni (Roma Tor Vergata), Kristin De Vleming (UMass), Thibaut Delcroix (Montpellier), Ruadhai Dervan (Glasgow), Kento Fujita (Osaka), Lena Ji (Michigan), Anne-Sophie Kaloghiros (Brunel), Eveline Legendre (Lyon 1), Jesus Martinez Garcia (Essex), Takuzo Okada (Saga), Zsolt Patakfalvi (EPFL), Arman Sarikyan (Edinburgh), Cristiano Spotti (Aarhus), Hendrik Suess (Jena), Nivedita Viswanathan (Brunel)
