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.
