ZUMA - The Moduli space of curves/Surfaces of general type with the minimal holomorphic Euler characteristic
Venue: Room 204, Hai Na Yuan #2, Zijingang Campus
Time: 16:00 - 17:20, October 16
Speaker: 江智 Zhi Jiang (Fudan University)
Pretalk: The Moduli space of curves
Abstract: We discuss the classical way of parametrizing algebraic curves and the important work of Deligne-Mumford about the irreduciblity of the moduli spaces of curves.
Research talk: Surfaces of general type with the minimal holomorphic Euler characteristic
Abstract: It is a very difficult task to classify varieties in higher dimensions, even for surfaces with small birational invariants. I will survey some recent progress towards understanding the structure of surfaces of general type whose holomorphic Euler characteristic is 1.
