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

Description

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.
