ICTP Mathematics Colloquium by Caucher Birkar on "Algebraic Geometry and Beyond"
Online
On the occasion of the presentation of 2020 Ramanujan Prize to Carolina Araujo
http://indico.ictp.it/event/9493/
Abstract: In this talk we will discuss some fundamental aspects of algebraic geometry and then discuss connections with some other areas.
Biosketch: Caucher Birkar is a mathematician and professor at the University of Cambridge, UK. Birkar is an important contributor to modern birational geometry and has received recognition for his contributions to algebraic geometry. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 2018, "for his proof of boundedness of Fano varieties and contributions to the minimal model program".
Birkar's research focuses on Fano varieties and singularities of linear systems and other contributions the minimal model problem. He proved several fundamental problems such as Shokurov's conjecture on boundedness of complements and the Borisov–Alexeev–Borisov conjecture on boundedness of Fano varieties.
