Homological Mirror Symmetry and Birational Geometry
Special Events| Speaker: | Ludmil Katzarkov, University California Irvine, U of M |
| Location: | 1147 MSB |
| Start time: | Mon, Feb 13 2006, 4:10PM |
In this talk we will introduce Homological Mirror Symmetry (HMS). After considering some examples we will demonstrate how can HMS be used in solving classical problems in Algebraic Geometry - nonrationality of conic bundles and nonrationality of four dimensional cubic.
