内容摘要:
One of the central goals of algebraic geometry is to understand and classify geometric shapes defined by polynomial equations. Over the past decades, the Minimal Model Program has provided a powerful framework for studying these objects by simplifying their geometry through a sequence of birational transformations. More recently, many of these ideas have been extended to the study of foliations, which describe how a geometric space can be decomposed into families of lower-dimensional subspaces, called leaves. In this talk, I will introduce some of the main ideas behind the Minimal Model Program, explain how they can be adapted to foliations, and discuss recent progress and applications.
个人简介:
Paolo Cascini,英国帝国理工学院纯数学系主任、教授。他于2004年在纽约大学柯朗研究所获博士学位,师从Bogomolov,此前在佛罗伦萨大学获学士学位。他主要从事双有理几何研究,尤其以与Birkar、Hacon、McKernan 合作的BCHM工作闻名,该成果证明了对数一般型代数簇的极小模型存在性,是极小模型纲领的奠基性突破。他因该工作于2016年获美国数学会E. H. Moore研究论文奖,并曾获Sloan研究奖金。除BCHM外,Cascini的代表性工作主要集中在叶状结构的双有理几何领域。他系统性地将极小模型纲领的工具与思想推广至叶状结构理论,在叶状对的奇点理论、极小模型纲领的建立以及Fano叶状结构的有界性等方面取得了突破性成果。他是Algebraic Geometry and Physics, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Journal of the London Mathematical Society等期刊的编委。
