Algebra and geometry seminar 05-02-2021

[Francesco Galuppi]

Dear colleagues,

this is to advertise the weekly seminar of the Algebra and Geometry 
group of the University of Trieste. On Friday, February 5th at 10:30, 
Andrea Petracci (FU Berlin) will talk about "Deformations and moduli of 
Fano varieties".

Abstract: Fano varieties are complex projective varieties with "positive 
curvature". They have a prominent role in algebraic geometry for many 
reasons, there are very few of them, they constitute the basic building 
blocks of algebraic varieties. In this talk I will explain how their 
complex structure deforms and how it is possible to construct singular 
points in the moduli space of K-polystable Fano varieties (i.e. Fano 
varieties admitting a Kähler-Einstein metric). This is joint work with 
Anne-Sophie Kaloghiros.

The seminar will take place online. The Zoom link is
