ALGEBRAIC   GEOMETRY   SEMINAR


Wednesday 20 November, at 16:00 hrs.


Speaker: Michele Graffeo (SISSA)


Title: Playing with quotient singularities


Abstract: One of the biggest differences between differential geometry 
and algebraic geometry is the presence of singularities. In particular, 
the study of their resolutions constitutes a huge branch in algebraic 
geometry.
In this seminar I will show some useful techniques in resolutions of 
singularities (especially in dimension 2 & 3). I will try to explain the 
groups theory aspect of this story in terms of crepant resolutions and 
Mckay correspondence.
